Abstract
Thin targets of ordinary lithium have been bombarded by protons over the energy range 0.4 Mev to 3.6 Mev. Observations of the magnetically analyzed reaction and scattered particles were made at 164° to the incident beam. Differential cross-section curves were obtained for protons scattered elastically and inelastically from , elastically from , and for the and particles from the reaction. The data show an excited state in at about 7.2 Mev and also a lower and very broad state. Possible correspondence to levels in the mirror nucleus is discussed. The protons scattered inelastically from do not show any resonances above Mev. The elastic scattering cross section has maxima at proton energies of 1.05 Mev, 1.88 Mev, and 2.06 Mev.
