Abstract
SINCE the beryllium-9(α,n) reaction has been widely used as a neutron source1 it is of interest to investigate its resonances. In addition these resonances can provide information on excited states in carbon-13. The reaction has been studied prior to 1964 by a number of authors2–6 for α-energies extending to 8.4 MeV and more recently by Miller and Kavanagh7 for α-energies of 2.00–11.80 MeV.
