The inelastic scattering neutron angular distribution of reaction 7Li(n,n′γ)7Li∗ (478 keV) derived from shape analysis of the Doppler broadened γ spectra at 9, 9.5 and 10 MeV☆

Abstract The angular distributions of the inelastic scattered neutrons from the reaction 7 Li(n,n′γ) 7 Li ∗ (478 keV) were derived from the shape analysis of the Doppler broadened γ spectra at incident neutron energies of 9, 9.5 and 10 MeV. The measured spectra were fitted to the Monte Carlo simulation results to get the Legendre coefficients of the angular distributions of the inelastic neutron scattering in the center-of-mass (CM) system. The derived results are compared with DWBA calculations. The agreements are rather good.
