Book excerpt: Neutron-proton scattering with 90 Mev neutrons has been investigated by others,1,2 using a proportional counter technique and also using a cloud chamber. They measured the scattering cross section for neutrons for center of mass angles from 36° to 180°. The present experiment was performed with nuclear emulsions in order to permit the detection of protons down to about 1.5 Mev, and to avoid systematic errors that might be present in the case of other methods of detection. The results agree with those of Hadley, et al., within probable error, and the cross section curve exhibits beyond 36° the same general trend as the curve measured by hadle, et al. The measurements confirm the fact that there is probably not complete symmetry of the n-p cross section curve about 90° in the center of the mass system.
