Abstract
MULTIPLY-CHARGED ions of elements up to neon have recently been accelerated to energies of the order of 100 MeV. in the Nuffield Laboratory 60-in. cyclotron at Birmingham1. Some of these ions have been used in bombardment studies2. Among the radioactive products is phosphorus-32, which is formed, for example, in relatively large yield in bombardments of aluminium-27 with 14N6+ ions. We have carried out experiments designed to show in what chemical state these atoms are held in the target.
