The differential cross section has been measured for scattering angles less than 0.07 degrees with an angular resolution of 0.003 degrees FWHM. The differential cross section was found to decrease monotonically with scattering angle. In particular the node in the angular distribution, which had been predicted by some theoretical calculations, was not observed.
