Abstract

The reactions

{Ge}^{70} (α, 2 n) {Se}^{72}

{Ge}^{70} (α, p n) {As}^{72}

{Zn}^{70} (α, p n) {Ga}^{72}

, and

{Zn}^{70} (α, 2 p) {Zn}^{72}

were studied with alpha particles of 20-40 Mev, and their excitation functions were measured. The results are compared with evaporation calculations based on the assumption of compound-nucleus formation.
