Abstract Using a time-of-flight method the neutron spectra in the Li6 + + p and Li7 + p reactions have been investigated at a proton energy of 9 Mev. Neutron groups have been found in the (p, n) reaction corresponding to the ground state in Be6 and the three lowest states of Be7 as well as a continuous neutron spectrum at lower energy, due to more complicated reactions. The observation of the neutron group for the Li6(p, n)Be6 reaction is the first experimental indication of the existence of the Be6 nucleus. The energy of the Li6(p, n)Be6 reaction is 5.2 Mev, the width of the ground state in Be6 is T 〈 0.3 Mev. The differential cross sections for neutron formation have been measured at 0, 15, 30, 60 and 120 °.
