Since the anisotropic behavior of nucleon-nucleon scattering becomes strong with increasing incident energy, the isotropic picture used in previous theories should be generalized and examined. A discussion of a nucleon double-differential cross-section calculation based on anisotropic intranuclear scattering is presented. The calculated results indicate that the anisotropic effect slightly improves the agreement with the experimental data.
