Abstract
The elastic scattering cross section of 7.9 MeV photons by U and Th was measured in the angular range 25°-140°. It is shown that at this energy the forward elastic scattering is due almost entirely to Delbruck scattering. The results are systematically lower by > 50% than the calculated values. A good agreement with theory was obtained only after excluding the contribution of the real part of the Delbruck scattering amplitude.
