Neutron transmissions through Teflon (CF/sub 2/) and carbon were measured to provide high resolution transmission and cross sections for fluorine from 5 eV to 20 MeV. The Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) was used for the neutron source. The 80-m flight path with a /sup 6/Li glass detector was used for the low-energy measurements, and the 200-m flight path with a NE-110 detector was used for the higher energy measurements. The various background contributions were carefully studied and are discussed in detail. The 2389 resulting values are tabulated and compared with the current ENDF/B-IV evaluation.
