Neutron Inelastic Scattering

Abstract
The neutron inelastic scattering of iron has been studied as a function of neutron energy from the threshold at 850 kev to 2.0 Mev. The yield of 850-kev gamma rays emitted by de-excitation of the first excited state has been measured by means of a NaI scintillation spectrometer. Similar work is in progress on Al, Pb, Bi, and other elements.
