Abstract
This paper reports high-accuracy cross-section data taken for identical kinematic conditions of the neutron-proton and neutron-neutron final-state interactions in the reaction at an incident mean neutron energy of 13.0 MeV. These data were analyzed with rigorous three-nucleon calculations to determine the and scattering lengths, and . Our results are and . The value obtained for in the present work is in agreement with that from measurements but disagrees with values obtained from earlier neutron-deuteron breakup studies.
