Radiations from the Proton Bombardment of23Na

Abstract
The excitation functions and absolute yields of the reactions 23Na(p, γ)24 Mg and 23Na(p, α)20 Ne have been measured for proton energies between 250 and 700 keV. Resonances for the emission of γ-radiation were found at 310, 515, 593 and 679 keV, and for α-particle emission at 287, 338 and 593 keV. The spectrum of γ-radiation was measured at each resonance together with the relative intensities of the γ-rays. A decay scheme is given which has been verified by γ-γ coincidence measurements.
