Abstract:
The statistical multi-step direct emission theory formulated by Feshbach, Kerman and Koonin (FKK) was applied to the analysis of 14 MeV (n, n') scattering on 93Nb and Ag. It is concluded that the FKK theory as it stands disagrees with experimental data, because of anomalously large multi-step cross sections due to the resonance-like behaviour of non-DWBA matrix elements which are entered in the calculation.
