Abstract: Comparison and analysis of experimental data on neutron interaction cross-sections for ⁵⁹Co nuclei were made in the energy range (0,3 - 22) MeV. The applicability of the optіcal-statіstіcal approach and excited core model for the description of experimental total, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering cross-sections was studied. Results of the adequate description of the experimental data set were used to study the contributions of the direct mechanism and mechanism of scattering through a compound nucleus to the elastic and inelastic scattering of neutron by ⁵⁹Co nuclei in neutron energy range under investigation.
