Abstract
The energy distribution of the neutrons from the disintegration of lithium by 0.85 MEV deuterons has been determined by the method of recoil protons in a high pressure cloud chamber. The results of the experiment indicate that the neutrons come from the two reactions The neutrons from the first reaction (95 percent of the disintegrations) have a continuous energy distribution, while the neutrons from the second reaction (5 percent of the disintegrations) are nearly homogeneous, with a maximum energy of 13.3±0.5 MEV. From these data, the mass of was calculated to be 0.3±0.75 MEV greater than that of two alpha-particles.
