Abstract
Indium was irradiated with slow neutrons from a radium-beryllium source for a period of several months. A period of 45±3 days was produced quite strongly. It is shown that this period is produced when captures a neutron to form . The ratio of the activity of the long period to that of 54 minutes, due to , is approximately the same as the isotope ratio /. The capture cross sections for the two processes are given by the relation .
