Unusual statistics of interference effects in neutron scattering from compound nuclei
We consider interference effects between p-wave resonance scattering amplitude and background s-wave amplitude in low-energy neutron scattering from a heavy nucleus which goes through the compound nucleus stage. The first effect is in the difference between the forward and backward scattering cross sections (the ${\mathbf{p}}_{i}\ensuremath{\cdot}{\mathbf{p}}_{f}$ correlation). Because of the chaotic …
