Neutron-Proton Scattering at 152 MeV

Abstract

The differential cross section for neutron-proton scattering has been measured at 152 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 1 MeV. Protons were detected in the angular range of 5 to 50\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} relative to the incident beam direction, corresponding to neutron scattering angles of 169 to 78\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} in the c.m. system. The angular distribution is consistent with earlier data at the smaller proton angles, but significant discrepancies are apparent at angles greater than 25\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}.
