Phys. Rev. C 66, 064002 (2002) [5 pages]Angle-dependent normalization of neutron-proton differential cross sectionsReceived 24 January 2002; published 23 December 2002 Systematic errors in the database of np differential cross sections below 350 MeV are studied. By applying angle-dependent normalizations with the help of the energy-dependent Nijmegen partial-wave analysis PWA93, the χ2 values of some seriously flawed data sets can be reduced significantly at the expense of a few degrees of freedom. It turns out that in these special cases the renormalized data sets can be made statistically acceptable such that they do not have to be discarded any longer in partial-wave analyses of the two-nucleon scattering data. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
