Abstract
The energy distributions of charged particles emitted in the bombardment of and by 0.24-Mev tritons have been obtained by magnetic analysis and by measuring pulse heights in a proportional counter. values for the reactions , , and were found to be 0.986±0.007 Mev, 0.790±0.011 Mev and 9.79±0.03 Mev, respectively. The latter, when combined with other accurately measured values, leads to a — mass difference of 3.55±0.03 Mev, which is in agreement with the most recent -ray measurements. Evidence is also presented for an excited state of at 1.71±0.01 Mev above the ground state.
