Abstract
Differential neutron elastic-scattering cross sections are measured from ≈ 1.5 to 10 MeV in sufficient energy and angle detail to define the energy-average behavior. Concurrently, neutron inelastic-scattering cross sections are measured from ≈ 1.5 to 8 MeV. Inelastically-scattered neutron groups are observed corresponding to excitations of: 306 ± 14, 411 ± 47, ≈ 494, 791 ± 20, 924 ± 20, 1156 ± 24, 1358 ± 35, 1554 ± 47 and 1706 ± 59 keV, with additional tentative groups at 1938 and 2059 keV. Particular attention is given to the inelastic excitation of the 2 + yrast states of the even isotopes. This broad data base is examined in the context of optical-statistical and coupled-channels models. The resulting model parameters are consistent with systematic trends in this vibrational mass region and provide a suitable vehicle for many applications.
