Description
Abstract:The differential cross section for n-p elastic scattering in the angular range 51° < θ (subscript cm) < 180° has been measured with high statistical cm accuracy using the 647 MeV monoenergetic neutron beam of the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility. A proton recoil magnetic spectrometer was used for momentum analysis of the charge exchange protons from the reaction n+p -->p+n. Absolute normalization of the cross section was established to within 7% using existing cross section data for the reaction p+p --> π⁺+d. The results differ significantly from previous Dubna and PPA cross sections but agree well with recent Saclay data except at extreme backward angles.
