We measured the 9Be photoneutron production cross section σ(γ, T, n) = σ(γ, n) + 2 σ(γ, 2n) + σ(γ, pn) in the energy range from 17 -25 MeV with quasimonoenergetic photons from positron annihilation in flight. In contrast to experiments of Thomas, Crawford and Thies (1972) and Hughes (1973), performed with bremsstrahlung photon sources we found no pronounced structure in this energy range.
