Abstract
Tagged neutrons with an initial energy of 14.1 MeV scattered on a carbon sample are measured within the framework of the TANGRA project. Angular distributions of neutrons are obtained for elastic scattering and scattering to the first excited state of 12C with an energy of 4.44 MeV. Results are compared to experimental data from other authors and model calculations performed using a coupled channels model with a deformed optical potential.
