Evidence for a symmetry term in the optical potential for neutrons
Abstract
The analyses of 6, 7 and 8 MeV neutron differential elastic scattering of 13 elements ranging from Al to Bi have revealed evidence for a symmetry term in the real optical neutron potential. It is also shown that the real-potential depth is a decreasing function of the mass number at each energy.
