Relative yields of Mo93 and Nb92 from Nb93+20-Mev protons. irradiated Nb showed the same 290-, 690-, and 1465-kev gammas from Mo as well as the 905-kev ray from 10.2-day Nb92 formed by a (p, pn) reaction. The 7-hr Mo may be formed by either a (p, y), a (p, n), or a (p, 2n) reaction. The first of these alternatives seemed unlikely in view of the 3.7±0.2 Mev reaction threshold observed by Blaser et al.3 However, the possibility of a (p, 2n) reaction remained to be considered. Accordingly, an excitation curve was determined using a stacked foil technique in which one-mil Nb foils were bombarded for 90 minutes with a ca 10 ,ua beam of 20.1-Mev protons. The decay of the beta-activity produced in the Nb foils was resolvable into two periods only-the 6.95-hr Mo and the 10.2-day Nb92. The yield of 6.95-hr Mo when plotted against the incident proton energy (Fig. 2) is seen to reach a maximum at about 11.5 Mev, after which it diminishes with increasing energy. The curve for the
