Note on the Scattering of Neutrons by Protons

Abstract

Expansions for the computation of $s$ wave scattering for square wells are arranged in a form convenient for numerical substitution. Effects of $p$ wave scattering are estimated using Bethe's neutral form of meson theory. It is found that effects of the order of 50 percent in the angular distribution may be expected for 16-Mev neutrons.
