Extract
In an investigation of the disintegration of by protons, resulting in the emission of three α-particles, Dee and Gilbert* found that the observed distributions of ranges and angles of these particles could be explained by assuming that one α-particle is first ejected, leaving a short-lived, excited nucleus which then decomposes into two more α-particles. The half-life of this excited beryllium nucleus was estimated to be about 10–21 sec.
