    Abstract

    A complex harmonic oscillator potential is used in an attempt to fit low-energy neutron scattering and absorption data. Differential scattering cross sections are compared with experiment for 1-Mev incident neutrons and a wide spectrum of target nuclei. Total cross sections are compared with experiment at 350 Kev, 1 Mev, and 1440 Kev for an extensive mass spectrum. For the parameters used in the calculations, the complex harmonic oscillator seems to share the shortcomings of the "best-fit" complex square well.
