Neutron elastic scattering at $30.8$ MeV on natCe
Abstract
Elastic scattering of fast neutrons at an incident energy of 30.8 MeV on a natural cerium target was measured during an experiment conducted at the Neutrons For Science facility at GANIL-SPIRAL2. This is the first measurement on cerium using incident neutron energy above 20 MeV. The differential cross-section up to 40 ∘ ∘ in the centre-of-mass frame was extracted using the MONSTER liquid scintillator array for the scattered neutron detection. The experimental results are compared to global optical-model calculations, providing an overall very good agreement and a useful benchmark at intermediate energy.
