Abstract
The decay period of the α-activity produced when boron is bombarded with neutrons from a (Li + D) source has been measured, and found to agree with the known decay period of 8Li. It has been shown that no activity is produced when (Be + D) neutrons (maximum energy 4·5 × 106 e.V.) are used. The results are explained by postulating the formation of radioactive 8Li according to the processA short investigation of the number-range distribution for the α-particles emitted by 8Li indicated that a maximum occurred in the distribution at a range of about 6 mm.
