Abstract

The neutron yield from C13(p,n)N13 has been studied up to a proton energy of Ep=3.96 Mev. A resonance is found at Ep=3.76 Mev which corresponds to an excited state in N14 at 11.07 Mev and coincides with a previously reported level deduced from the reactions of deuterons on C12. This finding furnishes evidence that the same state of a compound nucleus can be excited by two entirely different processes.
