GENERAL: See also (1976AJ04) and Table 14.21 [Table of Energy Levels] (in PDF or PS).

Special reactions involving ¹⁴O: (1976AB04, 1978AB08).

Astrophysical questions: (1977JO1D, 1977SI1D).

Applied topics: (1978HI1D).

Reactions involving pions: (1976DI10, 1976DI11, 1977HO1B, 1978SH12, 1979LI1H, 1980DE10, 1980SI07).

Other topics: (1976IR1B, 1976ST13, 1976VO1C, 1979KA13).

Mass of ¹⁴O: The recent ¹⁴N(p, n)¹⁴O threshold measurement by (1977WH01) leads to an atomic mass excess of 8007.1 ± 0.4 keV for ¹⁴O. See also (1980BA1M). A preliminary measurement of the ¹⁶O(p, t) Q-value (P.A. Barker and J.A. Nolen, private communication) leads to 8008.65 ± 0.51 keV, in excellent agreement with the value adopted by (1977WA08) [8008.3 ± 0.5 keV] which we continue to adopt. See also (1980NO1A).

1. 14O(β+)14N

Qm = 5.1449

A recent measurement of the half-life of ¹⁴O is 70.613 ± 0.025 sec (1978WI04); [for earlier measurements see (1976AJ04)]. The "best" value of τ_1/2 = 70.606 ± 0.018 sec (1978WI04). ¹⁴O [J^π = 0⁺; T = 1] decays predominantly to the analog state ¹⁴N*(2.31): the branching ratio to that state is (99.332 ± 0.011)%. This value is obtained by adopting (0.61 ± 0.01)% (1966SI05) and (0.058 ± 0.004)% (1980WI1H) [Note added in proof: Sum of ε_K and β-decay in ratio 6/4 (R.W. Kavanagh, private communication).] for the branching ratios to ¹⁴N*(0, 3.95) [both 1⁺; 0 states]. The ft-value for the 0⁺ → 0⁺ transition to ¹⁴N*(2.31) is 3086.5 ± 2.7 sec (1978WI04): [log ft = 3.4895 ± 0.0004]. For the transition to ¹⁴N*(0, 3.95) log ft = 7.266 ± 0.009 (1980WI1H) and 3.112 ± 0.034 (1980WI1H), respectively. See also the discussion in (1976AJ04).

2. 12C(3He, n)14O

Qm = -1.1484

Observed neutron groups are displayed in Table 14.22 (in PDF or PS). Angular distributions have been measured at E(³He) = 25.4 MeV [see (1970AJ04, 1976AJ04)] and at 15, 18 and 20 MeV (1978FE03: n₀, n₁, n₂₊₃₊₄). See also (1976WA1B) and ¹⁵O.

3. 12C(10B, 8Li)14O

Qm = -16.904

At E(¹⁰B) = 100 MeV the angular distributions of the transitions to ¹⁴O*(6.27, 9.92) [J^π = 3^-, 4⁺], the states preferentially excited, have been studied by (1978HA10).

4. 12C(11B, 9Li)14O

Qm = -24.296

At E(¹¹B) = 114 MeV, ¹⁴O*(6.27, 9.9) [J^π = 3^-, 4⁺] are populated: see (1974AN36).

5. 12C(12C, 10Be)14O

Qm = -20.6159

At E(¹²C) = 114 MeV, the population of ¹⁴O*(0, 6.27, 9.9) is reported: it is suggested that ¹⁴O*(9.9) has a (d_5/2)²_4⁺;1 configuration (1972SC21, 1974AN36). ¹⁴O_g.s. is weakly populated (1974AN36).

6. 12C(14N, 12B)14O

Qm = -18.514

At E(¹⁴N) = 118 MeV, the population of ¹⁴O*(6.27, 9.9) is reported (1974AN36). At E(¹⁴N) = 155 MeV there is some evidence for the excitation of ¹⁴O*(5.17, 5.92, 6.27, 8.72, 9.72) (1975NA11). See also (1979NA1G).

7. 12C(16O, 14C)14O

9. 13C(p, π-)14O

Qm = -137.161

At E_p = 200 MeV the angular distributions of π^- and π⁺ to the ground states of ¹⁴O and ¹⁴C are very different (1979HO1F). See also (1979JO1C) and (1976NO1D, 1976PO1D; theor.).

Qm = -5.1635

Triton groups have been observed at E(³He) = 44.6 MeV to the first six states shown in Table 14.21 (in PDF or PS) and to levels with E_x = 6.79 ± 0.03, 8.74 ± 0.06, 9.74 ± 0.03, 10.89 ± 0.05, 11.24 ± 0.05, 11.97 (unresolved), 12.84 ± 0.05, 13.01 ± 0.05, 14.15 ± 0.04, 14.64 ± 0.06 and 17.40 ± 0.06 MeV (1967BA13, 1969BA06). See also reaction 50 in ¹⁴N. [The states at 6.79 and 8.74 MeV reported in this reaction are relatively weakly excited and are not observed in reaction 2.]

Angular distributions of ground state tritons have been studied to E_p = 54.1 MeV [see (1976AJ04)] and at 28.9, 29.8 and 30.7 MeV (1978GO04). For comparison with the (p, ³He) results see reaction 68 in ¹⁴N.

Triton groups have also been observed to states with E_x = 5.21 ± 0.04, 5.92 ± 0.06, 6.28 ± 0.05, 6.59, 7.77, 8.69 ± 0.06 [weak, not observed in reaction 2], and 9.65 ± 0.06 MeV (1971FL04). Angular distributions have been studied with polarized protons at E_p = 43.8 MeV to ¹⁴O*(0, 5.17, 6.27, 6.59, 7.77, 9.72) (1974MA12).
