Excited States ofF19fromO16(α,p)F19

Abstract

Oxygen gas has been bombarded with 20.6-Mev alpha-particles, and the resulting proton groups have been studied using a proportional counter. The energies of the proton groups were measured by their range in aluminum. $Q$-values of -8.08, -9.44, -10.75, and -12.00 Mev were obtained giving levels in ${\mathrm{F}}^{19}$ at 1.36, 2.67, and 3.92 Mev.
