Mass of ¹⁵B: Wapstra adopts 28970 ± 22 keV (1988WA18, and private communication) and so do we: see (1986AJ01). ¹⁵B is then stable with respect to ¹⁴B + n by 2.77 MeV.

Decay of ¹⁵B: ¹⁵B decays by β^- emission to ¹⁵C: Q_β^- (max) = 19.10 MeV. The character of the decay is not known but measurements of the half-life are 11 ± 1 ms (1984DU15), 8.8 ± 0.6 ms (1986CU01), 10.4 ± 0.3 ms (1988MU08), 10.8 ± 0.5 ms (1988SA04), 10.3^+0.6_-0.5 ms (1989LE16). The weighted mean of these five values is 10.3 ± 0.2 ms. Omitting the low value from (1986CU01) gives 10.5 ± 0.3 ms, which we adopt.

Upper limits have been set on the P_0n and P_2n: 5% and 1.5%, respectively (1984DU15). See also (1989LE16).

General: (1985PO10) calculate [in a (0 + 1)ℏω model space] that the first four states of ¹⁵B at 0, 1.53, 2.06, 2.71 MeV have, respectively, J^π = 3/2^-, 5/2^-, 1/2^- and 7/2^-.

Interaction cross sections at 790 MeV/A of ¹⁵B ions with Be, C and Al are reported by (1988TA10). The interaction radius and the r.m.s. radius for the nucleon distributions in ¹⁵B have also been derived (1988TA10). See also (1989SA10), (1986DU11, 1989DE52), (1986GU1D, 1988BAYZ, 1988MI1G, 1990LO10) and (1986AN07, 1989DO1K, 1989PO1K, 1989SI26, 1990RE04; theor.).
