Abstract

An experimental technique in which radioactive

{Li}^{8}

atoms are introduced into the gas of a cloud chamber has been used to determine the energy distribution of the alpha-particles from the

{Li}^{8}

breakup. The maximum of the distribution occurs at 3.3 Mev and the width of half-intensity is 1.2±0.2 Mev. The theoretical distribution

N_{α} d E_{α} = [P_{α J} \frac{{(Q - 2 E_{α})}^{5}}{{(E_{0} - 2 E_{α})}^{2}} + \frac{1}{4} Γ^{2}] d E_{α}
