Differential cross sections for 22 gamma rays produced by neutron interactions with elemental copper having energies Eγ between 0.36 and 2.5 MeV have been measured for neutron energies En between 0.7 and 10.5 MeV for θγ = 90 deg using a Ge(Li) detector system. The present data are compared with previously reported measurements; agreement with earlier reported data is generally good for En < 3 MeV and generally poor for En > 4 MeV.
