The differential cross sections for the scattering of neutrons with incident energies of 6.78, 7.41, 7.93, 8.35, 8.57, 9.38, 10.10, 10.93, 11.55, 12.25, 13.50 and 13.96 MeV from nitrogen have been measured for lab angles between 15° and 135° in 15° steps. The measurements were made with a liquid target in cylindrical geometry with a thickness of approximately one half of the total mean free path. The neutrons were produced by the D(d, n) 3He reaction in the Livermore variable-energy cyclotron; the average neutron energy spread was ±200 keV. A multiple detector time-of-flight system was used for simultaneous recording of the data. The experimental differential cross sections are analysed in terms of the optical model, with only the real and imaginary potentials varied.
