The spin dependence of p-wave neutron scattering by spherical nuclei in region A ≈ 60–130 is analyzed. The spin-orbit splitting of the 3p-maximum of the neutron force function is described using a two-phonon approximation of the coupled channel thechnique. The cross section of inelastic neutron scattering through a composite nucleus is comparable to that of the direct excitation of collective states at an energy of ∼1 MeV.
