Inelastic Scattering of Neutrons by Rotational Excitation

Abstract:

The collective nuclear model of A. Bohr is applied to the interpretation of inelastic scattering of neutrons, as was briefly described in our previous report. The present paper deals with the detailed theory of the inelastic scattering of neutrons by a direct excitation of the nuclear surface reaction, as well as by the resonance scattering via compound nuclei. The cross section for the former process is proportional to the square of the intrinsic quadrupole moment and depends strongly upon the amplitudes of neutron waves at the nuclear surface. This strong dependence makes it difficult to compare our theory with experiments. Conversely the strong dependence may be employed to know the optical potential which distorts neutron waves. It is pointed out that the contributions from the direct and compound nucleus forming processes can be distinguished by observing the angular distribution.
