Relative cross-section measurements for the [sup 10]B(n, [alpha][sub 1][gamma])[sup 7] Li reaction were made using the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator Laboratory neutron source. The cross sections were measured by observing the 478-keV photon using an intrinsic germanium detector. The neutron flux was monitored with a high-efficiency plastic scintillator. Monte Carlo calculations were used to provide multiple-scattering and neutron-attenuation corrections to the data. The measured cross sections differ as much as 40% from the ENDF/B-VI evaluation for incident neutron energies greater than 1.5 MeV.
