Abstract

Several elements have been irradiated with a high-intensity bremsstrahlung beam and a search has been made for γ rays scattered from nuclear levels. A 6-in.×5-in.-diameter NaI(Tl) crystal was used as the detector. Resonant scattering was seen from Li6, B11, C12, O16, Mg, and Si. Pulse-height spectra for γ rays scattered from each of these are shown. Application of these spectra to previous experiments in which level widths and branching ratios were calculated is discussed. Levels in B11, C12, and O16 were observed which have not been seen with this technique previously.
