Abstract
Differential cross sections for neutron elastic scattering from , , , and have been measured in the energy range 18–26 MeV. These data, together with previously published neutron and proton data for these nuclei and for in the energy region 20 to 65 MeV, have been analyzed in terms of two microscopic optical potentials. The spherical potential derived from the work of Jeukenne, Lejeune, and Mahaux provides a consistent representation of the differential data, provided the imaginary central potential is renormalized. Predictions from the interaction of Brieva and Rook give less satisfactory agreement. In particular, there is a significant overprediction of the forward angle data below ∼25 MeV and an underprediction above ∼35 MeV.
