Ilford C.2 plates were exposed to bremsstrahlung of maximum energy 70 Mev. from the electron synchrotron at Queen's University, and 82 stars produced in the emulsion have been attributed to the reaction:[Formula: see text]The excitation function of the reaction shows a sharp drop near 40 Mev. and the integrated cross-section up to this limit has been estimated. In addition 23 stars have been identified as being due to the reaction:[Formula: see text]In both reactions the most probable mode of disintegration is by the initial emission of an alpha-particle. The range measurements in the carbon stars have been used to derive an accurate range–energy relation for lithium ions in nuclear emulsion.

The 90° cross-section of the reaction 3 1 H( d , n ) 4 2 He has been investigated over the energy range 100 to 200 keV (energy of bombarding triton) using the 200 keV accelerating set of the establishment. Two methods have been used. As a preliminary experiment the yield of alpha-particles from a thick heavy-ice target was measured per unit charge of incident beam, as a function of deuteron energy, and the variation of cross-section deduced from the gradient of this excitation curve and the range energy relation for tritons in heavy water. Secondly, a comparison was made between the yield of alpha-particles from the D-T reaction and the yield of protons from the D-D reaction when a beam containing both deuterons and tritons was passed through a heavy-water vapour target. (The energy loss in this target was calculated as only a few hundred electron volts.) To do this a simultaneous observation was made of the protons and alpha-particles using the same counter. The values obtained for the cross-section have been compared with the resonance formulae given by Bretscher & French (1949) and by Tascbek, Everhart, Gittings, Hemmendinger & Jarvis (1948) and have been found to be in disagreement with formulae of this type. From considerations of the absolute magnitude of the cross-section it has been deduced that no conventional theory postulating reaction at a distance equal to the sum of the nuclear radii (cf. Konopinski & Teller 1948) will be able to explain this reaction. The evidence for a low-energy resonance (Allan & Poole 1949) is thought to be inconclusive.

The photoneutron cross section of DBe has been measured in the region from 6�5 to 18 MeV, using filtered bremsstrahlung radiation from an 18 MeV synchrotron. The integrated cross section is in agreement with an earlier experiment, but increased resolution has shown a more complex shape, with sharp maxima at 1l�25�O�2 and 13� 25 � 0�2 MeV. The significant features of the cross section are discussed and compared with the level scheme as it is known at present.

The neutron yield resulting from photoneutron reactions in Lu175 has been measured as a function of peak bremsstrahlung energy up to 23 Mev. The threshold energy for this reaction was found to be 7.77 ± 0.05 Mev. The giant resonance cross section has a peak value of 225 millibarns at 16 Mev., a half-width of 8.4 Mev., and an integrated cross section to 23 Mev. of 1.9 Mev-barns.

Photoneutron distributions from 14N have been obtained by time-of-flight methods, for bremsstrahlung end-point energies increasing in 2 MeV steps from 15.5 to 29.5 MeV. A large part of the neutron yield is associated with the sequential decay of 14N to 12C, through well-defined intermediate states of 13C, at 7.55, 8.86, and 11.80 MeV, which are unstable against neutron emission. The (γ,n0) cross section for neutron emission to the ground state of 13N is found to agree very closely with the corresponding (γ,p0) cross section, implying a high degree of isospin purity for the giant dipole resonance of 14N. It is observed that the decay of the giant resonance proceeds freely through those odd-parity excited states of the A = 13 nuclei which are single hole states formed by the removal of a p-shell nucleon from the parent 14N.The integrated cross section for all neutron-producing interactions is found to be 88 ± 5 MeV mb.

The disintegration of nitrogen by slow neutrons has been studied in photographic emulsions of different sensitivity, which enable an unambiguous distinction to be made between the emission of α-particles and protons. Evidence has been obtained that the disintegration takes place according to the reactionwith a cross-section of about 10−24 cm.2
