The antineutrino absorption reaction p(P, tt+)rI was observed in two 200-liter water targets each placed between large liquid scintillation detectors and located near a powerful production fission reactor in an antineutrino Qux of 1.2&(10"cm ' sec '. The signal, a delayed-coincidence event consisting of the annihilation of the positron followed by the capture of the neutron in cadmium which was dissolved in the water target, was subjected to a variety of tests. These tests demonstrated that reactor-associated events occurred at the rate of 3.0 hr ' for both targets taken together, consistent with expectations; the erst pulse of the pair was due to a positron; the second to a neutron; the signal dependended on the presence of protons in the target; and the signal was not due to neutrons or gamma rays from the reactor.
R ECENTLY Dunlap 1 and DeSorbo 2 reported on resistivity measurements of heat-treated germanium single crystals at hydrogen temperatures. They found that the activation energy for thermally introduced acceptors is about 0.03 ev; i.e., considerably higher than for chemical acceptors. 3 Some time ago, 4 at the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
