The /sup 10/B(n,..cap alpha gamma..)/sup 7/Li relative cross section was measured using the 200-m flight path of the National Bureau of Standards Linac neutron time-of-flight facility. Results are presented from 5 to 700 keV, showing the 5/2/sup -/ level of /sup 11/B at 500 keV. The neutron flux was monitored with a hydrogen proportional counter. The known n-p scattering cross section was then used to normalize the data to obtain a relative cross section. No attempt was made to obtain an absolute normalization experimentally. Overall accuracy is estimated to be better than 3% from 10 to 400 keV. 12 references.
