Gamma-Rays from Beryllium and Nitrogen Bombarded with Deuterons

Abstract

Measurements have been made on the Compton electrons ejected from a thin lamina of carbon by the gamma-rays from Be + D and N + D. Lines at 3.45 and 1.0 Mev were found in the case of Be + D and lines at 8.2, 6.6, and 5.1 Mev were found in the case of N + D, with a slight indication of two other lines at 4.1 and 2.5 Mev. Possible ways in which these lines may be correlated with the energies of the heavy particles emitted is discussed.
