17B (1977AJ02)(Not illustrated) 17B has been observed in the 4.8 GeV proton bombardment of uranium: it is particle stable and its ground state Jπ is probably 3/2- (1973BO30, 1974BO05). Its atomic mass excess is calculated to be 44.37 MeV (transverse form of the mass equation): it is then stable with respect to decay into 15B + 2n by 0.53 MeV (1974TH01, 1975JE02). The Eβ-(max) for the decay to 17C would then be 23.1 MeV. See also (1971AJ02) and (1972GA1F, 1972TH13, 1972WI1C, 1975BE31).
