  The superconductor $FeSe_{0.5}Te_{0.5}$ was studied with Point Contact
spectroscopy and specific heat in polycrystalline samples. The transition
temperature determined by magnetic measurement was $T_C =14.5$ K. The size of
the energy gap measured by junctions is $\Delta = 1.9$ meV, whereas the gap
determined by the specific heat measurements was $\Delta = 2.3 $ meV. The gap
evolution with temperature follows BCS, the ratio 2$\Delta$/$K_BT_C$ has values
between 2.88 $\leq 2\Delta/K_BT_C \leq 3.04$. The compound was grown by solid
state synthesis in quartz ampoules under vacuum at 950 C. Crystal structure was
characterized by X-ray diffraction. The superconducting properties were
characterized by magnetization, resistivity and specific heat. This
superconductor shows an isotropic energy gap as observed with the fitting of
the specific heat at low temperature.
