Fast neutron generators driven by isochronous cyclotron U-120M developed at Nuclear Physics Institute were used for neutron cross-section measurements. The target station with 2 mm thin lithium was used to produce pulsed beams of fast quasi-monoenergetic neutrons in the 7Li(p,n) reaction. The Time-of-Flight technique was used to determine the exact neutron energy spectra. The transmission measurements on liquid oxygen were conducted for several neutron peak energies between 18 and 27 MeV and the cross-sections for reaction natO(n,tot) were derived.
