Abstract

The energies of neutrons from B10(d,n)C11 and B11(d,n)C12 reactions have been measured by use of photographic emulsions and enriched B10 targets. Neutron groups corresponding to levels in C11 at 1.85, 4.23, 4.77, 6.40, 6.77, 7.39, 8.08, 8.39, 8.62, and possibly 8.97 and 9.13 Mev, have been observed. Most of these levels in C11 show good correspondence to those previously reported for the mirror nucleus B11. This correspondence supports the assumed equality of nn and pp forces. Neutrons from normal boron targets were observed, corresponding to levels in C12 at 4.4-, 9.6-, 10.8-, 11.1-, 11.74-, 12.76-, 15.09-, and 16.07-Mev excitation. There were also some indication of additional levels at 13.21-, 13.36-, 14.16-, and 15.52-Mev excitation.
