Abstract

Bombardment of $C^{14}$ by deuterons produces three nuclear reactions, yielding neutrons, $α$ -particles, and protons, and leads thereby to the formation of $N^{15}$ , $B^{12}$ , and a new radioactive isotope, $C^{15}$ . The half-life of this sixth isotope of carbon is 2.4 sec., and the end point of the $β$ -ray spectrum lies at 8.8 Mev.

Approximate values for relative yields from the various reactions are given, the neutron spectrum is obtained, and the nature of the $γ$ -rays emitted during bombardment is reported.
