The differential cross sections of the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction were measured at 1.85 and 2.67 MeV by using a gridded ionization chamber. Neutrons were produced through the T(p,n)3He reaction. The absolute neutron flux was determined through the 238U(n,f) reaction. Results are compared with existing data.
