Measurement and analysis of neutron scattering cross-sections for the nuclei of structural materials in the 0.5-9.0 MeV region

The differential and integral neutron elastic and inelastic scattering cross-sections were obtained for 24Mg, 48Ti, 52Cr, 54Fe, 58,60,64N and 92,94Mo nuclei at 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 6 and 7 MeV, for 62Ni, 76,78,80,82Se and 126,130Te nuclei at 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 5 MeV, for 50,54Cr, 56Fe, 64,66,68Zn and 209Bi nuclei at 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 MeV and for 16O, 28Si, 32S and nickel nuclei at 5 MeV. These experimental data, together with the data of other authors at comparable energies, were analysed using the spherical optical model, the statistical model and the coupled-channel model. 100 refs, 8 figs
