17F (1993TI07)
(See Energy Level Diagrams for 17F)
GENERAL: See 
2 [Electromagnetic Transitions in A = 16-17] (in PDF or PS), 
17.22 [General Table] (in PDF or PS) and 
17.23 [Table of Energy
Levels] (in PDF or PS).
Q = 0.10 ± 0.02 b (1974MI21).
| 1. 17F(β+)17O | Qm = 2.760 |
The half-life of 17F is 64.49 ± 0.16 sec; log ft= 3.358 ± 0.002. The log ftvalue for the transition to 17O*(0.87) is > 5.6: see (1982AJ01, 1986AJ04). The β anisotropy has been measured with on-line isotope separation and low-temperature nuclear orientation (1988SE11, 1988VAZP, 1989SE07). See also (1988TA1N).
Gamow-Teller matrix elements were calculated for the 17F β+ decay in the relativistic scalar-vector shell model by (1990NE12). The effect of exchange currents arising from quark degrees of freedom was studied by (1988TA09). A relativistic analysis of semileptonic weak interactions is described in (1987KI22). See also (1987BA89, 1988BA1Y, 1988BA55, 1991NA05).
| 2. 12C(14N, 9Be)17F | Qm = -10.435 |
See (1982AJ01).
| 3. 14N(3He, γ)17F | Qm = 15.843 |
Excitation functions for γ0+1, γ2 and γ3 have
been studied for E(3He) ≈ 3 - 18 MeV. Resonances are reported
corresponding to 17F states at 20.1 ± 0.2 (γ2) [Γ = 1.07 ± 0.16
MeV], 20.4 ± 0.1 (γ1) [Γ = 0.7 ± 0.1] and 21.3 ± 0.1 MeV (γ1) [Γ = 0.9 ± 0.1]
(1983WA05): see
17.19 (in PDF or PS) in (1982AJ01).
| 4. 14O(α, p)17F | Qm = 1.190 |
This reaction is important in astrophysical processes. Analytic expressions for reaction rates are given in (1988CA26). The rates are calculated on the basis of T = 1 analog structure in 18O and 18Ne by (1987WI11). See also the studies of this reaction in the framework of the generator coordinate method by (1988FU02, 1989FU01).
| 5. (a) 14N(6Li, t)17F | Qm = 0.047 |
| (b) 14N(6Li, tα)13N | Qm = -5.771 |
Angular distributions for reaction (a) involving 17F*(8.43, 10.7, 11.9, 13.51, 14.84) have been measured at E(6Li) = 36 MeV. For comparisons with the results in the analog reaction 14N(6Li, 3He)17O see (1986AJ04). For the earlier work see (1982AJ01).
| 6. 15N(3He, n)17F | Qm = 5.010 |
Angular distributions have been reported to most of the states of 17F with
Ex < 8.1 MeV at E(3He) = 3.8 and 4.8 MeV. Neutron
groups have also been reported to 17F states at Ex = 11.195
± 0.007, 12.540 ± 0.010 and 13.059 MeV, with Γ <
20, < 25 and < 25 keV, respectively. Angular distributions at
E(3He) = 10.36 and 11.88 MeV lead to Jπ = 1/2- for 17F*(11.20) [L = 0],
3/2- or 5/2- for 17F*(12.54) and 3/2-,
5/2- for 17F*(13.06). These three states are probably the
first three T = 3/2 states in 17F (1969AD02). The
branching ratios for transitions to 16O*(0, 6.05, 6.13) for
17F*(11.20) and for the analog T = 3/2 state in 17O are
displayed in 
17.16 (in PDF or
PS): the ratios of the reduced widths
are quite different in the two mirror nuclei. See (1977AJ02) for the references.
| 7. 16O(p, γ)17F | Qm = 0.601 |
At low energies the direct capture to 17F*(0, 0.50) is observed.
Extrapolation of cross-section data leads to S(0) ≈ 8 keV · b: see (1977AJ02). In addition to two T = 1/2
resonances, five resonances corresponding to T = 3/2 states are observed in the γ1 and γ0 +
γ1 yields: see 
17.24 (in PDF or PS) for the reported parameters. The
lowest T = 3/2 states of even parity at Ex = 13.27 and 14.02 MeV
[Jπ = (1/2+) and 5/2+]
(see 17.24 (in PDF or PS)) are not observed here: Γγ ≤ 7 and ≤ 11.8
eV, respectively (1975HA06).
The (γ0 + γ1) yield at 90° has been studied for Ep = 15.75 to 31.66 MeV: it shows the giant dipole resonance centered at Ex = 22 MeV with a width of ≈ 5 MeV and a pigmy resonance centered at 17.5 MeV. The integrated strength of the mainly T = 1/2 giant resonance is 10 MeV · mb; the observed strength distribution is in good agreement with odd parity 2p-1h, 1p shell excitation calculations. The pigmy resonance is due to f7/2 → d5/2. The main f7/2 strength lies in two states at Ex = 16.9 and 18.0 MeV (1975HA07). The γ0 yield at 60° for Ep = 20 to 100 MeV and differential cross sections at Ep = 20.8, 28.35, 49.2 and 49.69 MeV have been measured (1988HA04). Differential cross sections have been measured for 17O excitation energies Ex = 20 - 40 MeV by (1986ANZL, 1988CO10), and it is reported that the (p, γ0) data indicate a direct capture term and the excitation of giant dipole resonances based on excited states having a probable 2p-1h structure. See also (1986PO1D, 1987PO09, 1988PO1G). The 16O + p bremsstrahlung cross sections have been measured at Ep = 2.74 MeV at 155° by (1988PE12). For discussions of the 16O(p, γ)17F reaction in astrophysical processes see the reviews of (1985CA41, 1987RO25, 1988CA26), and see (1991RA1C).

Yield curves for elastic protons, protons scattered to 16O*(6.05, 6.13,
6.92, 7.12, 8.87) and for γ-rays from
16O*(6.13, 6.92) have been studied at many energies up to Ep =
46 MeV: see (1971AJ02, 1977AJ02, 1982AJ01). The observed resonances are
displayed in 
17.25 (in PDF or
PS). Absolute σ(θ) [θ =
110° to 160°] have been measured for Ep = 0.60 to 2.00 MeV to
± 5% (1983BR11). Cross
sections for bremsstrahlung emission are reported in the vicinity of the
Ep = 2.66 MeV resonance by (1983TRZZ, 1988PE12, 1992DA19). A
measurement of the lifetime of the state at Ex = 3.105 MeV in
17F is reported in (1990GOZN). The cross
sections of the 6.13 MeV γ-ray at Ep = 23.7 and
44.6 MeV have been measured by (1981NA14), and (1979SC07) report the
σt for Ep = 190 to 558 MeV. See
also (1982AJ01).
Ay measurements have been made for inelastic scattering to many excited states of 16O for Ep = 35 - 200 MeV. Ay and spin transfer observables for p0, p2, p3, and p4 groups have been measured at Ep = 35 - 200 MeV and polarization transfer-coefficients have been studied at Ep = 200 MeV to 4- states of 16O. The spin rotation parameter Q has been measured for the elastic scattering at Ep = 65 MeV and 200 MeV. [See references in (1986AJ04).] In more recent work, differential cross sections and analyzing powers have been measured at Ep = 6.4 - 7.7 MeV (1992WI13), at Ep = 13.5 MeV for all narrow states below Ex = 12.1 MeV up to a momentum transfer of 3.2 fm-1 (1989KE03), at Ep = 35 MeV (1990OH04), and at Ep = 318 MeV for states with Ex < 14 MeV (1991KE02), and at Ep = 400 MeV for excitation of the Ex = 10.957 MeV 0-, T = 0 state (1991KI08). See also (1987KE1A, 1988SEZU). Quasielastic spin observables for elastic scattering are reported for Ep = 320, 400, 500, 650, and 800 MeV. Cross sections and analyzing powers for 0+ → 0- excitations in 16O with Ep = 200 MeV are reported in (1989SAZZ). See also (1986GA31, 1987PI02). Cross section measurements for gamma ray production relevant to astrophysics are discussed in (1987LA11, 1988LE08). See also (1988SA1B). For earlier work see (1982AJ01, 1986AJ04), and see the compilation of cross sections in (1986BA88), and the reviews of (1985KI1A, 1988ZA06).

At E(3He) = 18 MeV, angular distributions of the deuterons to 17F*(0, 0.50, 3.104 ± 0.003, 3.857 ± 0.004) have been measured. The spectroscopic factors for 17F*(0, 0.50) are 0.94 and 0.83. Two-step processes appear to be involved in the excitation of 17F*(3.10, 3.86). Angular distributions have also been measured at E(3He) = 30 MeV (to 17F*(5.1, 5.7)) and at E(3He) = 33 MeV (d0, d1): see (1982AJ01) for references.

A Jπ = 3+ level in 18Ne at Ex = 4.561 ± 0.009 MeV is reported in (1991GA03), and the effects of this result on the 17F(p, γ) thermonuclear reaction rate as well as astrophysical consequences are discussed.
