The magnitude and energy dependence of the 9Be(n,t1)7Li reaction have been measured between 13.3.- and 15-MeV neutron energy by observing the gamma decay of the first excited state of 7Li with a Ge(Li) detector. A ring and shadow-cone geometry was used. The results are in disagreement with a previous measurement of this cross section.
