Abstract
The reasons for interest in small angle scattering of fast neutrons are outlined. Apparatus developed for investigating small angle scattering of 3.5 MeV neutrons emitted in the
2H(d,n)
3He reaction using a 1 MeV accelerator is described and its performance assessed. Preliminary measurements are presented of the differential cross sections for scattering by Cu and Pb at angles between 1.4° and 10°.
