Abstract
A scintillation spectrometer with an anticoincidence annalus of NaI is used to measure the energy of the gamma ray that follows the capture of a neutron by hydrogen. The measurement is made simultaneously with the calibration of the spectrometer system in terms of six reference gamma rays. The results indicate a value of 2219±2 keV for the binding energy of the deuteron. A discussion of this result relative to other measurements of this and related quantities is presented.
