Abstract
The excitation curve for the reaction at zero degrees has been measured from threshold at 3.78 Mev to 6.38 Mev bombarding energy. Resonances corresponding to excited states in at 16.21, ∼16.3, ∼17.0, 17.13, 17.29, ∼17.5, 17.63, 17.84, 17.97, and 18.05 Mev were observed. The 16.21-Mev state is and the 16.3-Mev state is . The energy difference between the threshold energy and the beam thick-target threshold was found to be 17.6±0.5 kev. A threshold energy for of 3.7808±0.0011 Mev is implied if possible differences in the extrapolated end points of the thresholds with and beams are ignored.
