This paper reports on the {sup 19}F(n, 2n){sup 18}F cross section which is measured at neutron energies of 18, 21, 23, 25 and 27 MeV. Nearly monoenergetic neutrons bombarded Teflon ((C{sub 2}F{sub 4}){sub n}), zirconium, and gold samples. The {sup 19}F(n, 2n){sup 18}F cross-section values are determined relative to {sup nat}Zr(n,xn){sup 89}Zr and {sup 197}Au(n,2n){sup 196}Au from measurements of the {sup 18}F, {sup 89}Zr, and {sup 196}Au activities. Results are in agreement with previous measurements below 20 MeV and extend the usefulness of this reaction to 28 MeV.
