Abstract
The reaction -ray energy was obtained from measurement of the energy difference between it and the 2185-keV ray emitted in the decay of -. Based on the -ray energy value of 2223.247 ± 0.017 keV obtained from this measurement, a value of 2224.564 ± 0.017 keV was determined for the binding energy of the deuteron . By combining this binding energy value with published mass differences of doublets involving neighboring isotopes and and , values of 6257.268 ± 0.024, 4946.329 ± 0.024, 8176.483 ± 0.040, and 10833.297 ± 0.038 keV were obtained for the neutron binding energies of , , , and , respectively, together with a value of 8071.367 ± 0.029 keV for the neutron mass excess .
