Abstract
A thermal-neutron inelastic scattering kernel based on recently observed collective motion in liquid hydrogen, taken to be of quasicrystalline nature with an appropriate chemical binding energy, is found to explain the experimental pulsed neutron and steady-state spectra studies at 20 K. Thus the collective motion plays a very significant role in the transport of low-energy thermal neutrons in liquid hydrogen.
