Abstract

The energy distribution among the neutrons emitted from carbon and copper bombarded by 10-Mev deuterons has been investigated by means of proton recoils in photographic emulsions. A description of the method is given. Two excited levels are observed in N13 at 2.29±0.12 Mev and 3.48±0.12 Mev, the latter not having been observed previously. Q for the production of N13 in the ground state is found to be -0.29±0.09 Mev. Both the reactions (d,n) and (d,2n) have been identified in the effects occurring when copper is bombarded by 10-Mev deuterons. Quantitative agreement with the expected energy range of the neutrons from the (d,2n) reaction is found. There is also evidence for some type of level structure in Zn. Discussion is given of a possible interpretation of this structure.
