Abstract
Angular distributions were measured for neutron elastically scattered by nat Pb at 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4MeV at very forward angles. The mono-energetic neutron flux was produced at the tandem accelerator facility of the National Institute of Nuclear Research (ININ), Mexico, using the Associated Particle Technique (APT) in the D(d, n)3 He reaction. Optical model predictions with best potential systematic show a fairly good agreement with our data, and also the need for a better understanding of the neutron scattering process at very small angles from the theoretical point of view.
