A gridded ionization chamber was used to measure the differential cross sections for tritons from the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction at 3.67 and 4.42 MeV. Neutrons were produced via the D(d,n)3He reaction. The absolute neutron flux was determined through the 238U(n,f) and H(n,p) reactions. At 3.67 MeV the result is almost 90 deg symmetric, but it is obviously forward peaked at 4.42 MeV in the center-of-mass reference system.
