A position sensitive neutron detector was used to measure the scattering cross sections of 14.7 MeV neutron from ²³⁸U between 2.5° and 15°. The angular distribution are calculated with coupled channels code ECIS79 using different parameters. The measured and calculated results are compared and discussed.
