Abstract

Monoenergetic photons at eight energies in the range 6.84-11.39 MeV were elastically scattered from targets of Ta181, Pb, and U238 at θ=1.21°-1.50°. The differential scattering cross section at such angles was measured relative to the Compton cross section. The photon beam was obtained from the Ni(n, γ) reaction using thermal neutrons. Strong evidence for the contribution of both Rayleigh and the real Delbruck amplitudes and for their destructive interference was obtained. NUCLEAR REACTIONS Ta181, Pb, U238(γ, γ), E=6.84-11.39 MeV; measured σ(E, θ), θ=1.21 °-1.50 °; deduced Rayleigh and Delbruck amplitude contribution.
