Abstract
New measurements have been made of the neutron capture radiation from beryllium and carbon using a more sensitive pair spectrometer. From beryllium, γ rays with energies of 6.81 and 3.41 ± 0.06 Mev. were detected. The former is the ground state γ ray previously reported. The 3.41 Mev. γ ray, which has an intensity of about 0.25 photon per capture, seems to be due to the excitation of the first excited state in Be10. From carbon, in addition to the 4.95 Mev. ground state γ ray previously reported, a γ ray was found with an energy of 3.68 ± 0.05 Mev. and with an intensity of about 0.3 photon per capture. No γ rays were observed which could be associated with the excitation of the level at 3.9 Mev. in C13.Keywords
