Cross sections have been measured for the elastic scattering of 7.40-, 7.55-, 8.00-, 8.55-, 9.00-, and 9.50-MeV neutrons from nitrogen and oxygen in the angular range from 2.5 to 15 deg. The results for nitrogen show a much stronger scattering at small angles than previously inferred by extrapolation from large-angle scattering data.
