Neutron elastic-scattering cross sections of elemental chromium are measured from 4.5 - 10 MeV in steps of
MeV and at
scattering angles distributed between
and
. Concurrently cross sections for the inelastic neutron-excitation of the yrast
(1.434 MeV) level in
are determined. The experimental results are combined with lower-energy values previously reported from this group and with results from the literature to form an extensive scattering database which is interpreted in the context of spherical-optical and coupled-channels models. The physical implications of the measurements and models are discussed including; deformation, coupling, dispersive and asymmetry effects.
