The ratio of the /sup 235/U fission cross section to the /sup 6/Li(n,..cap alpha..) cross section was measured at neutron energies from thermal to 680 keV. The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory electron Linac provided a pulsed source of neutrons, and energies were measured by time-of-flight. The evaluated /sup 6/Li cross section was used to obtain sigma(n,f) for /sup 235/U from 100 eV to 680 keV and to normalize the results to the accepted thermal fission cross section value.
