“…The 6 Li(n, t) 4 He reaction is one of the most important nuclear reactions for the following reasons. Firstly, this is a tritium production nuclear reaction, and tritium is a key material (T 1/2 = 12.4 a) for fusion energy production [1].…”

“…Firstly, this is a tritium production nuclear reaction, and tritium is a key material (T 1/2 = 12.4 a) for fusion energy production [1]. Secondly, the 6 Li(n, t) 4 He reaction is widely used in neutron spectrometry and calibration of detectors because its Q-value is high, 4.78 MeV, and the cross-sections have been adopted as standards from 0.0253 eV to 1.0 MeV [2]. Thirdly, the only neutron-induced reactions on 6 Li below 1 MeV are the (n, el), (n, γ), and (n, t) reactions [3].…”

The 6Li(n, t)4He reaction was measured as the first experiment involving neutron-induced charged particle emission reactions at the CSNS (China Spallation Neutron Source) Back-n white neutron source. The differential cross-sections of the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction at 15 detection angles ranging from 19.2° to 160.8° are obtained from 1.0 eV to 3.0 MeV at 80 neutron energy points; for 50 energy points below 0.1 MeV they are reported for the first time. The results indicate that the anisotropy of the emitted tritium is noticeable above E n = 100 eV. The angle-integrated cross-sections are also obtained. The present differential cross-sections agree in general with the previous evaluations, but there are some differences in the details. More importantly, the present results indicate that the cross-sections of the 6Li(n, t)4He reaction might be overestimated by most evaluations in the 0.5 − 3.0 MeV region, although they are recommended as standards below 1.0 MeV.
