Abstract
The Li-7(p, gamma)Be-8 reaction at low beam energies, less-than-or-equ al-to 100 keV, is considered for use as a high energy gamma-ray source . Production rates indicate that this reaction would yield a reasonabl e intensity of 17.3 and 14.3 MeV gamma rays with inexpensive and readi ly available proton ion sources.
