Abstract

A measurement of the neutron total and differential elastic scattering cross sections is described, performed by means of the time-of-flight technique in the neutron energy interval 2.1 to 4.7 MeV. The experimental data have been analyzed by the phase shift formalism, and the 12C neutron analyzing power has been calculated and compared with the results obtained by various authors. More precise values of some level parameters of 13C have been obtained in the excitation energy interval from 7 to 9 MeV. The calculated map of the polarization induced in neutron-12C scattering indicates the energy and angle regions where carbon may be usefully employed as a polarization analyzer.
