Abstract

The (α,n) cross sections in beryllium, magnesium, and aluminum were measured by counting the number of neutrons emitted from fairly thin targets of these elements for a given incident flux of alpha-particles. The energy of the alpha-particles was variable up to the full energy of polonium alpha-particles, 5.3 Mev.
