MARK 6. INGHRAM, RICHARD J. HAYDEN, AND DAVID C. BESS, JR. Argonne National Laboratory, P'niversity of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois January 17, 1947 g tITRIC acid solutions of Lu203, Yb203, and Dy203 were irradiated with neutrons in the Argonne heavy water pile. Decay curves of the irradiated lutecium sample showed 3. 4-hour and 6. 6-day activities as reported by Flammersfeld and Mattauch.'Decay curves of the ytter-bium sample showed a 2. 7-hour activity (probably the same activity reported by Marsh and Sugden'as 3. 5 hours) and also a 102-hour activity not previously reported. No evidence of the 41-hour activity reported by Pool and Quill'was found. Decay curves of the dysprosium sampleshowed the 2. 5-hour activity reported by Marsh and Sugden.'Assignment of mass to three of these active isotopes was made as follows. A portion of the sample containing the activity in question was placed on the filament sour'ce of a mass spectrograph. Operation of the spectrograph sepa-rated the isotopes and deposited them on a photographic plate. The position of the active isotope on this plate was determined by placing a second photographic plate face to face with the original. The disintegration of the active isotopes on the first plate produced developable images on both plates. Comparison of the position of this active deposit with the normal mass spectrum on the original plate determined the mass of the active isotope. This method of mass assignment gives results without the necessity of assuming the nuclear reaction by which the isotope is formed and is therefore frequently valuable in establishing the nuclear reaction. Using these techniques the following masses were assigned: 6. 6-day lutecium, 177; 102-hour ytterbium, 175; and 2. 5-hour dysprosium, 165.
