The interaction of high energy neutrons and heavy nuclei
Creators
Abstract
The interaction of high energy neutrons with heavy nuclei is studied under the assumption that the nucleus may be described by the statistical model. A detailed study is made of the energy transferred to the nucleus, the angular distribution of emerging particles, and the effective cross section for neutrons passing through nuclear matter. A summary of the results is given in the final section of the paper.
