Direct process contribution into the hard component of the 113In(n,n') reaction spectra

The direct process contribution to the hard component of the 113In(n, n') reaction-spectrum is analysed in terms of the coupled-channels methods for 5.34 and 8.53 MeV neutrons. The observed positive difference between neutron spectra from (n, n') and (p, n) reactions agrees with results of calculations, which take into account the spectroscopic information on the lowest 2+ and 3- collective levels of the neighbouring even-even nuclei
