NEUTRON SCATTERING FROM ELEMENTAL SILVER

摘要

Differential neutron elastic-scattering cross sections of elemental silver were measured from 1.5 --> 10 MeV at scattering angles distributed between approximate to 17 degrees and 160 degrees. Cross sections for ten inelastically scattered neutron groups were determined, corresponding to observed excitations of 328 +/- 13, 419 +/- 50, 748 +/- 25, 908 +/- 26, 1150 +/- 38, 1286 +/- 25, 1507 +/- 20, 1623 +/- 30, 1835 +/- 20, and 1944 +/- 26 keV, all of which were composites of contributions from the two isotopes Ag-107 and Ag-109. The experimental results were interpreted in terms of the spherical-optical and rotational and vibrational coupled-channels models. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. [References: 61]
