Abstract
The excitation function for radiative proton capture in has been observed at zero degrees with a 3-in.×3-in. NaI crystal. Bias adjustments were selected in order to establish the resonances for proton capture which lead to the emission of high-energy radiation. About twenty resonances were found for protons ranging in energy from 1.6 to 3.0 Mev, and there were indications for a number of weaker additional resonances. A slow-coincidence technique was used to investigate the gamma decay schemes for for six levels of excitation from 8.56 to 10.10 Mev. Quantitative conclusions are drawn regarding the decay of these levels to the ground "triplet" of .
