Abstract

The scattering of monoenergetic neutrons by 22Ne has been studied in the neutron energy range 1.9 to 3.5 MeV, following a similar experiment carried out recently with natural neon (ref. 1)). The total cross section of 22Ne shows 10 resonance maxima in this region, viz. at neutron energies of 2.01, 2.14, 2.19, 2.32, 2.53, 2.72, 2.87, 3.10, 3.20 and 3.43 MeV. Determination of resonance parameters with the help of energy distributions of recoil nuclei appeared to be difficult in most cases. The peak at 2.32 MeV is most probably due to a superposition of a P 3 2 and a D 3 2 resonance.
