The angular distribution of scattering of 3 MeV. neutrons by protons and by deuterons has been investigated with a Wilson cloud chamber. The results reveal an almost isotropic distribution for neutron-proton scattering and a strongly anisotropic distribution in the case of neutron-deuteron scattering. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical curves of Buckingham and Massey for the scattering of 2.5 MeV. neutrons by deuterons.
