a) The measured γ-ray intensity ratios are I6.09/I6.73/I7.34 = 100/(10.0 ± 2.0)/< 2.2 (1974AL11).
b) M.J. Martin, private communication to Fay Ajzenberg-Selove (1991AJ01).
c) This branch has not been observed. It is assumed to be 5 ± 3 % in the calculation of the branching ratios to 14C*(6.09, 6.73). However, (1975MI12; theor.) suggest that the branch may be as small as ≈ 0.3%. The errors shown for the branching ratios reflect this uncertainty (1974AL11).
d) Eβ-(max) = 14.0 ± 0.7 MeV to this state.
e) This branch has not been observed: the upper limit is shown. In the calculations of the branching ratios to 14C*(6.09, 6.73) a value 5 ± 5 % was used.
