Complete angular distributions for the /sup 3/H(p,n)/sup 3/He reaction were measured at 2.5 and 4.0 MeV with the /sup 1/H(t,n)/sup 3/He reaction used to obtain the backward yields. Because the distributions are peaked about 17% more strongly in the backward direction than the best previous elevation suggests (based on extrapolated data), the /sup 3/H(p,n)/sup 3/He reaction cross sections below 5 MeV were re-evaluated without the extrapolated data. The results were compared with recent total n-/sup 3/He cross-section results. 3 figures, 4 tables.
