Abstract

The high energy gamma-rays arising from 140-Mev proton bombardment of several elements has been studied using a scintillation counter telescope to detect secondary electrons. The angular distribution is consistent with an approximately isotropic distribution in the center-of-mass system if we assume the bremsstrahlung to come from pn collisions inside the nucleus. This is in disagreement with a phenomenological potential treatment of the pn force or the scalar-meson theory.

The form of the spectrum is found to be consistent with the dνν shape and the dependence on Z much as would be expected from an opaque nucleus with only the neutron contributing to the bremsstrahlung.
