Fast-Neutron Scattering from Nuclides in the Lead Region

Experimental results and calculations are presented of an investigation of elastic and inelastic scattering of neutrons from bismuth and from separated isotopes of lead. Data are presented on spectroscopic properties of resolvable energy levels, excitation functions, nuclear temperatures, and angular distributions, with special emphasis on the application of the Wolfenstein-Hauser-Feshbach theory with width-fluctuation correction.
