Abstract
A magnetic-lens pair spectrometer with 2.5% resolution has been used to study radiations produced by the bombardment of and by deuterons from a Van de Graaff accelerator. Gamma rays from the bombardment of with 4.5-Mev deuterons were observed with quantum energies of 8.321±0.020, 9.07±0.04, 10.03±0.04, and 10.81±0.04 Mev. The detection of radiation from the 10.81-Mev level of , in competition with proton emission, indicates a small proton width for this level and an argument is advanced for the assignment of spin and parity values of to this state. Gamma rays from the bombardment of with 4.5-Mev deuterons were observed with energies of 4.897±0.025, 5.102±0.025, 5.669±0.025, 5.833±0.030 (not Doppler-corrected), 6.090±0.020, 6.419±0.030, 6.700±0.025, 7.012±0.025, and 7.323±0.025 Mev. Experiments were performed which indicate conclusively that the 4.46-Mev ray from the bombardment of by deuterons is from . All -ray energies listed have been corrected for Doppler shift except where indicated.
