A proposed neutron-neutron scattering experiment in which the neutron
source would be colliding beams from an underground nuclear explosion was
investigated. In particular, the accuracy to be expected was determined
so as to allow evaluation of the worth of the experiment. Phase shift
analysis was performed for Gaussian, Exponential, Yukawa, and Square
Well spherically symmetric potentials. The energy range considered was
20 kev to 2.6 MeV. Scattering length was found to be determined to
within 6% and effective range within k0% for a 10% scattering cross section
accuracy. Potential depth would be determined to at least .5% and range to
.3%.
