Abstract
Excitation curves at 0° and 90° were studied for neutrons and rays produced in bombardment of thin targets of , , , , and by particles with energies of from 1.8 to 5.3 Mev. Resonances were observed in the reaction at bombarding energies of 1.9, 2.3, 2.6, 3.98, 4.4, and 5.0 Mev. The reaction showed resonances at 2.09, 2.25, 2.42, 2.605, 2.69, 2.775, 2.825, 3.09, 3.33, 3.42, 3.67, 3.73, 4.125, 4.42, 4.50, 4.63, 4.75, and 5.05 Mev. The excitation curve has resonances at 2.16, 2.25, 2.90, 4.53, 4.85, and 5.36 Mev, while the -ray yield from the reaction showed all these as well as resonances at 3.6 and 3.95 Mev. The reaction has resonances at bombarding energies of 2.06, 2.60, 2.93, 2.97, 3.23, 3.54, 3.72, 3.92, 4.25, 4.34, and 5.00 Mev. The reaction was studied with a thicker target (90-130 kev). Resonances in the neutron yield were resolved at 2.21, 2.47, 2.57, 2.72, 2.94, 3.24, 3.63, 3.91, 4.12, 4.22, 4.33, 4.52, and 4.82 Mev. Cross sections and widths of the resonances in the various reactions were determined.
