Triton angular distributions and forward-to-backward emission ratios for the /sup 6/Li(n,t)/sup 4/He reaction were measured in the incident neutron energy range from 10 eV to 325 keV using pulsed white-spectrum neutrons provided by the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA) facility. The angular distributions were measured with a new ionization detector, which offers an advantageous 2..pi.. geometry and nanosecond timing capability. Comparison is made between the angular distribution data obtained from this work and the results of calculations based on the compound model and on a direct reaction model involving a deuteron exchange mechanism in the s-wave channel.
