Abstract
Energy spectra of particles emitted in the nuclear reaction (,) were measured using a two-parameter data-taking system which incorporated a general-purpose computer. Incident ions had an energy of 3.0 MeV. The energy spectra showed peaks corresponding to the ground state and first (2.9 MeV) excited state of and an anomalous yield between these states. This yield is simply explained as resulting from the two-step reaction . No evidence for direct three-body breakup is found. angular distributions do not exhibit strong structure; the ground-state group shows slight anisotropy.
