The paper describes a recently developed method of extracting s- and p-wave neutron strength functions and scattering radii from average differential cross sections measured at the pulsed reactor IBR-30. The results for nuclei in the region 48 < A < 238 are compared with other experimental data and theoretical calculations.

KEYWORDS: Neutrons, differential cross sections, strength functions, scattering lengths
