Abstract
Zinc has been bombarded with 17 Mev alpha-particles and the consequent radioactivity observed. The disintegration products are mainly positrons; the half-lives of the observed activities are 19.8± 0.4 minutes, 37± 1.5 hours, 79± 2 hours and about 195 days. A chemical separation indicates that the first and third of these activities are due to gallium and the remaining two to germanium. The two gallium activities may be respectively assigned to and . No very definite assignment has been possible, however, with respect to the activities associated with germanium.
