The 6- and 7-Mev gamma rays produced in the F/sup 19/(p, alpha )O/sup 16/reaction at proton energies of 1.5 and 2.9 Mev, respectively, were scattered from lead. The spectrum of scattered gamma rays was measured at a mean scattering angle of 30 deg using a sodium iodide scintillator. Elastic scattering was observed, particularly for 7 Mev gamma rays for which the average differential cross section at the latter energy is about 5.10/sup -28/ cm/ sup 2//sterad. This elastic scattering was probably associated with resonance absorption of the Doppler broadened primary gamma rays inelastic scattering of gamma rays leading to excited states of lead nuclei was observed.
