GENERAL: See also (1977AJ02) and Table 16.1 [Table of Energy Levels] (in PDF or PS).

Experimental work: (1977AR06, 1981CH1U).

Theoretical work: (1979AL22).

Mass of ¹⁶C: The atomic mass excess of ¹⁶C based on the ¹⁴C(t, p) Q₀ measurements of (1977FO09, 1978SE04) and on the (1977WA08) masses for ¹⁴C, t and p is 13694 ± 4 keV.

1. 16C(β-)16N

Qm = 8.012

The half-life of ¹⁶C is 0.747 ± 0.008 sec: it decays to ¹⁶N*(3.34, 4.32) [both J^π = 1⁺] with branchings of 84% and 16% respectively [log ft = 3.55, 3.83]; see Table 16.2 (in PDF or PS) (1976AL02). See also (1978FO10).

2. 14C(t, p)16C	Qm = -3.013
	Q0 = -3015 ± 8 keV (1977FO09);
	Q0 = -3013 ± 4 keV (1978SE04).

Observed proton groups are displayed in Table 16.3 (in PDF or PS) (1977FO09, 1978SE04), together with the angular correlation results of (1977BA59). The similarities in the spectra of ¹⁴C and ¹⁶C are discussed by (1978FO06, 1978SE04). See also (1977FO1E, 1978FO10).

3. 14C(18O, 16O)16C

Qm = 6.720
