Abstract: | Weaknesses in Angeli and Csikai’s interpretation of their empirical formula for the neutron total cross section (σ
T) are pointed out. Using the Fourier-Bessel re-presentation of the scattering amplitude a semi-empirical formula forσ
T is obtained which has greater applicability and also explains the success of the empirical formula for mass numberA ⩾ 40 in terms of the established trends in neutron optical potential parameters. |
