Na/sup 23/ and Ne/sup 20/ gamma rays were observed frora the proton bombardment at various energies of thin evaporated Na and NaI targets and of a natural Ne gas tanget. Gamma rays involving Na/sup 23/ states to 4 Mev and Ne/ sup 20/ states to 5 Mev were observed and decay schemes and branching ratios obtained. The 2.08- and 2.70-Mev states of Na/sup 23/ are probably 7/2+ and 9/ 2+, respectively. Limitations on spin and parity values are given for other states. The results obtained for Na/sup 23/ are consistent with the results of a strongcoupling collective calculation. The 4.97-Mev state of Ne/sup 20/ has an upper limit for the grouad-state branch of 4%. An upper limit of 9% is placed on the ground-state branch of the 4.2-Mev state of Ne/sup 20/. Gamma rays from the F/sup 19/(d,n )Ne/sup 20/ reaction were observed with energies of 11 4 10 67 10.16 8.37 8.37, and 7.36 Mev. (auth)
