Neutron transmission through natural silicon samples has been measured for neutron energies between 5 eV and 730 keV. The Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) was used to provide the neutrons. The 80-m flight path with a /sup 6/Li glass detector was used for the low energy measurement, and the 200-m flight path with a NE-110 detector was used for the higher energy measurements. The 1,488 resulting values are tabulated and compared with the current ENDF/B-IV evaluation.
