GENERAL: See also (1971AJ02) and Table 17.1 [Table of Energy Levels] (in PDF or PS).

Theory and reviews: (1973PA1F, 1973RE17, 1973TO16, 1973WI15, 1974HA61, 1975BE31).

Experimental papers: (1971AR02, 1973KO1D, 1976DE1P).

1. (a) 17N(β-)17O* → 16O + n	Qm = 4.536
(b) 17N(β-)17O	Qm = 8.682

The half-life of ¹⁷N is 4.169 ± 0.008 sec (1972AL42): the mean of earlier values (see (1971AJ02)) was 4.16 ± 0.01 sec. See also (1976FI03). The decay is principally [see Table 17.2 (in PDF or PS)] to the neutron unbound states ¹⁷O*(4.55, 5.38, 5.94) [J^π = 3/2^-, 3/2^- and 1/2^-, respectively]. The nature of the decay is in agreement with J^π = 1/2^- for ¹⁷N_g.s. (1973PO11, 1976AL02). For measurements of the neutron energies see (1973PO11). Excitation energies of ¹⁷O states have been determined by (1973PO11) from E_n [e.g., 4.552 ± 0.004 MeV] and by (1976AL02). From E_γ to the first excited state whose E_x was taken to be 870.8 ± 0.2 keV, E_x for the second excited state of ¹⁷O is 3055.2 ± 0.3 keV; the direct ground state decay of that state is < 1.5% (1976AL02). See also (1972SH1F) and (1972TO03; theor.). For a comparison of the ¹⁷N and ¹⁷Ne decays see Table 17.3 (in PDF or PS) (1976AL02): the large values of δ show the importance of final state nuclear asymmetry in odd-A nuclei. See also (1972AL42).

Proton groups and γ-rays have been studied by several groups: see Tables 17.4 (in PDF or PS) and 17.5 (in PDF or PS). Angular distributions of γ-rays, branching ratio and lifetime measurements lead to most of the J^π shown in these two tables; transition energies have also been very accurately determined (1974RO27, 1974RO28). See also (1971AJ02).

Qm = 3.872

Alpha particle groups corresponding to ¹⁷N states with E_x < 4.3 MeV have been studied by (1960JA13): see Table 17.3 (in PDF or PS) in (1971AJ02). (1976GU14: E_t = 3.5 MeV) have studied α - γ angular correlations and γ-branching ratios for the first six excited states of ¹⁷N: see Tables 17.4 (in PDF or PS) and 17.5 (in PDF or PS).
