Abstract

The forward n-p differential cross-section is measured at 790 Mev from 9.5 to 60. degrees in the center of mass. The systematic errors are less than 4.0%. The differential cross-section is parameterized by the function dσ/dΩ = A e^bt, where t is the momentum transfer between the incoming and outgoing neutrons in (GeV/C)², and A and b are constants having the values A= 9.757±.069, b= 5.052±.045. With 36 data points the x² is 55. The magnitude of the ratio of the real to imaginary part of the forward scattering amplitude is found to be .3501±.14.
