“…Some progress has already been made towards this goal. Several early analyses of (n, n ) energy spectra in the backward direction for low incident energies, where MSC dominates, have shown that this process accounts well for the data for many nuclei with essentially the same parameters, including the effective nucleon-nucleon strength V 0 (Field et al 1986, Olaniyi et al 1993. Other analyses at higher incident energies similarly confirmed the validity of the MSD theory (Cowley et al 1991, Richter et al 1992 and showed that V 0 varies with incident energy.…”

The multistep reaction theory of Feshbach, Kerman and Koonin is used to analyse data on nuclear reactions to the continuum. The multistep direct, multistep compound, collective and compound nucleus cross sections are calculated with the same set of parameters and it is found that it is possible to fit the (n, n ), (n, p) and (p, n) data in a fully consistent way. The (p, p ) data, however, could only be fitted by approximately doubling the strength of the effective interaction. Several possible reasons for this were investigated including isospin effects, neutron-proton distinguishability, sensitivity to optical potentials and non-locality effects, but the difficulty still remains.
