the {sup 19}F(n,2n){sup 18}F cross section was measured at neutron energies of 18, 21, 23, and 27 MeV. Nearly monoenergetic neutrons bombarded teflon (CF{sub 2}), Zr, and Au samples. {sup 19}F(n,2n){sup 18}F cross section values were 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. Our results are in agreement with previous measurements below 20 MeV and extend the usefulness of this reaction to 27 MeV. 22 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
