Abstract
It is shown that the discrepancy between the results obtained for different neutron-energy ranges, when the neutron polarizability is derived from data on neutron scattering, can be removed if one assumes that a strong-interaction long-range potential of van der Waals (∼r −6) or of Casimir and Polder (∼r −7) is observed in fast-neutron scattering. This strong-interaction long-range potential possibly has some experimental confirmation in elastic pp scattering.
