GENERAL: See 2 [Electromagnetic Transitions in A = 16-17] (in PDF or PS), 17.2 [General Table] (in PDF or PS), 17.3 [Table of Energy Levels] (in PDF or PS) and 17.4 [Radiative transitions and lifetimes of ¹⁷N states] (in PDF or PS).

Theoretical papers and reviews:Energy spectra and wave functions of ¹⁷N are calculated and the results used to predict ¹⁸O(d, ³He)¹⁷N spectroscopic factors and electromagnetic transition rates (1989WA06). Self-consistent calculations of light nuclei including ¹⁷N are reviewed in (1990LO11). Production of ¹⁷N in heavy ion collisions is discussed in (1986HA1B, 1987RI03, 1987YA16, 1989VOZM). See also (1986AN07, 1986PO06, 1991SK02, 1992KW01, 1992WA22).

Experimental papers:Production of ¹⁷N in heavy ion collisions or multinucleon transfer in collisions of light nuclei are discussed in (1986BI1A, 1987AN1A, 1987AV1B, 1987SA25, 1987VI02, 1989CA25, 1989SA10, 1989YO02).

1. (a) 17N(β-)17O* → 16O + n	Qm = 4.537
(b) 17N(β-)17O	Qm = 8.680

The half-life of ¹⁷N is 4.173 ± 0.004 sec. The decay is principally [see 17.5 (in PDF or PS)] to the neutron unbound states ¹⁷O*(4.55, 5.38, 5.94) [J^π = 3/2^-, 3/2^-, 1/2^-]. The nature of the decay is in agreement with J^π = 1/2^- for ¹⁷N_g.s.: see (1982AJ01). For a comparison of the ¹⁷N and ¹⁷Ne decays see 17.6 (in PDF or PS). For GT transition rates see (1983SN03) and (1983RA29) and references in (1986AJ04). See also the recent analysis of GT β decay rates of (1993CH06).

2. 9Be(9Be, p)17N

Qm = 7.534

See (1988LA25).

3. 11B(7Li, p)17N

Qm = 8.415

Observed proton groups and γ-rays are displayed in 17.7 (in PDF or PS). 17.4 (in PDF or PS) shows branching ratio and lifetime measurements. Recent measurements of the cross section at E_c.m. = 1.45 - 6.10 are reported in (1990DA03).

4. 14C(6Li, 3He)17N

Qm = -5.697

Angular distributions have been studied to ¹⁷N*(1.91, 2.53, 3.63, 4.01, 5.17) at E(⁶Li) = 34 MeV and the results compared with those for the analog reaction to ¹⁷O (reaction 20) (1983CU04).

5. 15N(t, p)17N

Qm = -0.109

Observed proton groups are displayed in 17.8 (in PDF or PS).

6. 18O(γ, p)17N

Qm = -15.942

The giant resonance at E_x = 23.5 MeV decays to ¹⁷N_g.s. and to the first three excited states of ¹⁷N (1982BA03). See also ¹⁸O in (1983AJ01).

7. 18O(d, 3He)17N

Qm = -10.448

Observed groups of ³He ions are displayed in 17.7 (in PDF or PS). See also (1982AJ01) and ²⁰F in (1983AJ01).

Shell-model calculations of energy spectra and wave functions for ¹⁷C and ¹⁷N are presented in (1989WA06), and the results are used to predict spectroscopic factors for this reaction. Arguments are given for J^π assignments for states in ¹⁶N below neutron threshold.

8. 18O(t, α)17N

Qm = 3.873

See 17.4 (in PDF or PS) and 17.7 (in PDF or PS).
