Abstract
REFINED study of the artificial disintegration of light elements by -particle bombardment has revealed the important fact that the nuclear energy changes have discrete values presumably corresponding to quantised nuclear energy levels. These energy values are among the most definitely measurable properties of light nuclei and as such should be of importance to nuclear theory, but owing to the lack of experimental material no satisfactory explanation of these levels has yet been made.
