Gamma-rays from theMg( p,γ)Al reaction for proton energies E=800 keV to E=1,830 keV.

The yield curve and resonance strengths of resonances in theMg( p, γ)Al reaction for the proton energy range E=800 keV to E=1,830 keV, have been determined and the existence of a resonance at E=1.184 MeV confirmed. Single energy spectra as well as decay schemes and branching ratios are given for these resonances. An upper level of 2.0×10 sec for the lifetime of the 3.079 MeV level inAl results from a Doppler shift attenuation measurement carried out on the 2.624 MeV gamma line originating in the 3.070 MeV→0.455 MeV transition inAl.
