The reaction 9Be (3H, p) 11Be is studied by bombarding 9Be with 5 MeV tritons. Protons with energies of 2.260, 1.967 and 0.620 MeV are observed at 90 ° of the incident beam due to the formation of 11Be in the ground state and in two excited states: (a) Find the atomic mass of 11Be. (b) Find the excitation energy of the excited states.
