Abstract
The scattering facility SCORPION has been designed for simultaneous measurement of neutron differential cross sections and analyzing powers in the energy range of 4–16 MeV. This facility is constructed in close double shielded geometry and utilizes the high neutron fluxes produced with 0.5–1 mA currents of the 4 MV Dynamitron accelerator. Neutron spectroscopy is performed by pulse height analysis and by unfolding of the proton recoil spectra, using the new code FANTI, developed for this experiment. Results are given for the nucleus 12C as an example. As measured simultaneously in the same setup, consistent evaluation of cross section and polarization data reveal new and accurate information on optical model parameters in particular for the spin orbit term.
