Abstract
IN an earlier investigation1 of the reaction 18O(p,α)15N, a target technique with isotopically separated gas bound in a metal lattice was used. In the present investigation the same method has been used for a study of the relative yield of the reaction 15N(p,α)12C. Thin targets of nitrogen-15 were prepared in the electromagnetic isotope separator by bombarding silver plates with the beam of mass number 15 for about five hours, the ion source containing nitrogen. Immediately after the separation, these targets were put into the vacuum system of the high-tension accelerator.
