In the energy range of 3 to 15 Mev, which is to be discussed in this paper, the predominant factors of the total cross section are those from elastic and inelastic scattering. This paper is to discuss a method of measuring directly all effects other than elastic scattering, a non-elastic cross section, which is very nearly the cross section for compound nucleus formation.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
