Description

An attempt is made to find a satisfactory explanation for the average spin-spin cross section of 59Co for neutrons between 0.3 and 2.9 MeV. Calculations with an optical model spin-spin potential obviously fail to reproduce these data. A hybrid model is developed containing elements of compound-nucleus formation and of the optical model. Partial waves with orbital momenta up to l = 4 are taken into account. This model yields a good explanation of the 59Co data. It also agrees with the spin-spin cross section of 165Ho, the only other nuclide for which data exist above 0.1 MeV
