The relationship between the von Neumann entropy and the Shannon entropy for the nucleon-number observable is analyzed, as well as the time evolution of the entanglement (nucleon-number fluctuation).

The experiments were carried out at the white neutron source of the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA) facility by using thin and thick natural carbon samples. This work demonstrates the need for using thin samples to avoid strong multiple scattering effects. Neutrons and <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mi>γ</mi></math> rays from scattering were detected using the ELastic and Inelastic Scattering Array (ELISA), a setup consisting of 32 liquid organic scintillators. The <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mi>n</mi><mtext>−</mtext><mi>γ</mi></mrow></math> separation was achieved via pulse-shape analysis. For each sample a different approach in methodology is studied, one based on a global response function model and another one based on a per-detector model. The detectors are placed at eight different detection angles between <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><msup><mn>16</mn><mo>∘</mo></msup></math> and <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><msup><mn>164</mn><mo>∘</mo></msup></math> with respect to the neutron beam direction, allowing the simultaneous calculation of both the differential and the integral cross section by implementing the Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule.

The results are compared with other experimental data available in the EXFOR library, along with the most recent nuclear data evaluations.
