Abstract

The relative cross sections for scattering of neutrons by protons have been measured at $E_{n} = 10 MeV$ for center-of-mass neutron scattering angles from $60 °$ to 180°. Absolute differential cross section values were obtained by normalizing the angle-integrated relative angular distribution to the $n - p$ total cross section. The angular distribution exhibits a backward enhancement consistent with an exchange component of the $n - p$ interaction at this energy. The relative shape of the angular distribution is in good agreement with the prediction of the charge-dependent Bonn and Nijmegen potential models and with the Arndt phase-shift analysis. Better agreement is found with the evaluated nuclear data files (ENDF)/B-V than with the ENDF/B-VI evaluation.
