Abstract
Angular distributions for the scattering of fast neutrons by magnesium have been obtained for incident neutron energies of 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 Mev. The results for the elastic scattering have been compared with optical model calculations. The results for the inelastic scattering have been compared with calculations based on Hauser-Feshbach theory, and with direct interaction predictions. Over the range of conditions investigated, compound nucleus formation appears to be the dominant mechanism for the inelastic scattering.Keywords
