Small angle elastic scattering of 14 MeV neutrons by238U

Упругое рассеяние нейтронов с энергией 14 мэв под малыми углами на ядрах U238

Abstract

The theories proposed by various authors for the explanation of the apparently anomalous small-angle elastic scattering of fast neutrons by238U nuclei [1] are reviewed. The problem is then considered by questioning the validity of the model and the assumptions which give rise to the anomalous discrepancy between the predictions and the experimental data. The measurement of the angular distribution of 14.7 MeV neutrons scattered elastically by uranium is reported. In the evaluation of the experimental data the inelastic contribution is taken into account as a consequence of bad energy resolution. The analysis of the scattering data in terms of the optical model does not show the occurrence of any anomaly.

Резюме

Подытоживаются полытки истолкования различными авторами аномалии упругого рассеяния быстрых нейтронов под малыми углами на ядрах U238 [1]. Далее, проблема выдвигается с соображения, относительно чего и при каких предположениях данная аномалия появляется.

Измерялось угловое распределение упругого рассеяния нейтронов с энергией 14,7 Мэв. При измерении принимался во внимание неупругий вклад в результатах измерений, обусловленный разрешением по энергии. Анализируя оптическую модель рассеяния, малоугловая аномалия не обнаружена.
