Abstract
The emission of short range alpha particles associated with the 14·8 MeV. gamma radiation produced in the 7Li() reaction has been established. The energy distribution of these particles can be interpreted as due to a level in the 8Be nucleus at 3030±l00 keV. energy, with a width of 2000 keV. Some observations on the energy release (3·97±0·03 MeV.), cross section and excitation function for the 6Li(pα)3He reaction are also presented.
