Inelastic scattering of neutrons and energy dependence of the p-neutron strength function
Litvinskii L. L., Libman V. A.
Analysis of data in the literature on the cross section for the inelastic scattering of neutrons accompanied by the excitation of the 2+, 45-keV level of uranium-238 yields local values of the ^-neutron strength function S„, for the neutron-energy interval £„=82-275 keV. At energies £„<275 keV, no energy dependence of Snl outside the experimental errors (~15%) is found.
