Abstract

The delayed neutron activity associated with N17 has been produced by the x-ray irradiation of oxygen, the reaction being identified as O18(γ,p)N17. The threshold for this transmutation has been observed as 16.35±0.2 Mev, and the integrated cross section calculated to be 0.15±0.1 Mev-barn. The N17 produced was identified by measuring the neutron activity half-life as 4.15±0.1 sec.
