Neutron Spin-Flip in the Reaction 12C(n,n′)12C*(4.44MeV) at 15.0 MeV

  • M. Thumm , G. Mertens and G. Mack

The spin-flip probability S(θ) in the inelastic scattering of unpolarized 15.0-MeV neutrons to the first 2+ state in 12C has been determined at θ = 140° (lab.) by measuring the scattered neutrons in coincidence with the subsequent 4.44- MeV deexcitation γ-rays emitted normal to the scattering plane. Time-of-flight technique with carbon recoil detection in a plastic scintillator has been used. The neutron spin-flip probability is S = 0.21±0.06.
