Extract

It is shown that In113* can be obtained by nuclear excitation of indium by X-rays. The cross-section per nucleus for the production of In113* with 2 MeV. X-rays is of the same order as the cross-section for the production of In115*. The decay period of In115*, for which some discrepancy was apparent in the literature, was definitely proved to be 4·5 hr.
