Abstract

Doppler shifts of

γ

rays from some excited states of

B^{10}

nuclei produced in the reaction

B^{11} ({He}^{3}, α) B^{10}

have been measured with Ge(Li) and NaI(Tl) detectors. From these Doppler shifts the following information concerning mean lives of states in

B^{10}

has been deduced:

τ (1.74 MeV) \leq 4 \times 10^{- 14}

sec,

τ (2.15 MeV) = ({2.1}_{- 0.5}^{+ 0.8}) \times 10^{- 12}

sec, and

τ (3.59 MeV) = (1.7 \pm 0.7) \times 10^{- 13}

sec.
