The differential np scattering cross section has been measured at 96 MeV in the angular range θc.m.= 20° - 76°. A full angular distribution coverage was obtained by combination with an earlier backward-angle data set at the same energy. An accurate normalization has been obtained by normalizing this extended data set to the experimental total np cross section. A novel normalization technique has been investigated. The results on forward np scattering are in reasonable agreement with theory models and partial wave analyses and have been compared with data from the literature. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
