Abstract

Energy levels in carbon, aluminum, and sodium have been measured using a "proportional" sodium iodide scintillation counter to determine energies of outgoing protons from inelastic proton scattering at 7.26 Mev with the following results: C12: 4.45 Mev; Al27: 0.84, 1.01, 2.23, 2.77, 3.03, 3.71, 4.00, 4.47, 4.60, 4.87, 5.43 Mev; Na23: 2.10, 2.37, 2.69, 3.01, 3.70, 3.92, 4.45 Mev.

Factors limiting the resolution are presented, and it is found that the standard deviations of the distributions are consistent with 2.4 photoelectrons produced at the photocathode of the RCA 5819 per kev of particle energy lost.
