Abstract
The cross section for the absorption of photons by Ta181 has been deduced from measurements of the neutrons emitted when tantalum is irradiated in the X-ray beam of a 22-Mev betatron. The cross section has well-defined peaks at 12.75 ±.25 and 15.25 ±.25 Mev, and from this the intrinsic electric quadrupole moment is deduced to be 5.7 ± 1.3 barns.Keywords
