Measurements of the6Li(n, α) T cross section in the keV energy range

The⁶Li(n, α) cross section was measured in the 90–1500 keV energy range with uncertainties of 3–5%. A lithium glass scintillation detector was used for the measurement of the (n, α)-reaction rate. Flat response neutron detectors were used to monitor the neutron flux. A calibrated vanadium bath was employed to obtain absolute values. The results were analysed in terms of the single-level multi-channelR-matrix theory.
