Abstract
The energy of the gamma-radiation produced when is bombarded by 2.6-Mev protons has been measured with a scintillation spectrometer and found to be 3.58±0.04 Mev. A suggestion of Hushley that this gamma-ray is produced in the reaction (,) was verified by observing coincidences between the gamma-rays and low energy alpha-particles. The excited state of which emits the gamma-rays probably has spin zero and even parity and is presumably the analog of the ground state of the isobaric nucleus, . The thick target yield and cross section at resonance were found to be 4.8× gamma-rays per proton and 0.11× , respectively.
