The first cross-section measurements for the reaction {sup 22}Ne({ital p},{ital n}){sup 22}Na were performed at several proton energies from threshold to 18 MeV. A gas cell target containing natural Ne gas was irradiated on the beam line of a cyclotron. The yield of {sup 22}Na({ital T}{sub 1/2}=2.6 yr) was subsequently determined by counting gamma rays with a Ge detector. Several systematic corrections associated with the counting geometry and beam heating of the gas during bombardment were applied.
