Abstract: This paper describes a measurement of the neutron-proton differential cross section made at the Argonne National Laboratory Zero Gradient Synchrotron. The differential cross sections, based on about 470 000 events, are presented for 8 different momentum ranges between 4.5 and 12.5 GeV/c. The data extend from small angles out to about 145[deg] in the c.m.s., corresponding to 0.14 t [less, approximate] 19 (GeV/c)2 at the highest energies. These results in conjunction with previous np charge-exchange data provide almost complete angular distributions in this momentum range. A detailed comparison of the data with existing pp data and with theoretical predictions is made.
