Abstract
It is shown that the discrepancy between the results obtained for different neutron-energy ranges, when the neutron polarizability is derived from dat a on neutron scattering, can be removed if one assumes that a strong-intera ction long-range potential of van der Waals (similar tor(-6)) or of Casimir and Polder (similar tor(-7)) is observed in fast-neutron scattering. This strong-interaction long-range potential possibly has some experimental conf irmation in elastic pp scattering. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
