Abstract
B8 has been observed as a 0.61±0.11 sec positron emitter produced by the following reactions: B10(γ,2n)B8, B11(γ,3n)B8, and C12(γ,p3n)B8. Li9 has been observed as a 0.19±0.05 sec beta minus emitter produced by the reaction, B11(γ,2p)Li9. Irradiation of elements from Z=3 to Z=9 with a 0-50 Mev gammaray spectrum failed to induce any other short-lived activities. In spite of this, B13, C9, and O13 are not ruled out as short-lived activities. Li4 is not produced in observable amounts through the reaction Li6(γ,2n)Li4 if it has a half-life between 0.1 sec and 1 min; it is probably particle unstable.
