Neutrons Emitted in the Deuteron Bombardment of Carbon

Abstract

Energy levels in 14N have been observed at 2·31, 3·95, 4·91, and 5·10 MeV in the study of the inelastic scattering of protons and deuterons by nitrogen (Bockelman et al. 1953), and these levels may be used to explain all the low energy ?-rays associated with the 14N nucleus except for a 0 ·725 MeV ?-ray (Woodbury, Day, and Tollestrup 1953 ; Ajzenberg and Lauritsen 1955).
