Abstract
THE nuclear-level scheme for lithium-7 given in the review article on light nuclei by Ajzenberg and Lauritsen1 indicates levels at 0.478, 4.61, 6.56 and 7.46 MeV. excitation. The level at 7.46 MeV. corresponds to a resonance in the 6Li(n, 3H1)4He reaction at a neutron energy2 of 0.25 MeV., but neither (p,p′), nor (d,d′), nor (α,α′) scattering experiments have revealed inelastically scattered particle groups corresponding to this level3.
