The proton beam from the Duke University 3-Mev Van de Graaff and a target of 99% enriched Cr/sup 50/ were used to measure level spacings in the resonance inelastic scattering of protons by Cr/sup 50/. The yield of the reaction o 2.85 Mev at an angle of 130 deg . In this energy span, 53 resonances were observed. Angular distributions of the gamma yield were studied on most of the resonances. There was a small but definite yield between resonances. Level spacing values of 47 plus or minus 13 kev for 3/2/sup +/levels and 39 plus or minus 10 kev for 5/2/sup +/levels were obtained. The S-wave level spacing that should be observed in the Cr/sup 50/ neutron cross section is predicted to be 17 plus or minus 4 kev. (A.G.W.)
