Complex reactions involving ¹⁰C: (83FR1A, 83OL1A, 86HA1B, 87AR19, 87BEYI, 87RI03, 87SN1A, 87TA1F, 88BEYJ, 88CA06, 88KI05, 88SA19).

Other topics: (82KA1D, 85AN28, 86YA1F).

Ground-state properties of ¹⁰C: (83ANZQ, 85AN28, 87BL18, 87SA15).

Mass of ¹⁰C: The threshold energy for the ¹⁰B(p, n)¹⁰C reaction is 4876.90 ± 0.37 keV: then Q₀ = -4430.17 ± 0.34 keV (84BA12). Using the (88WA18) masses for ¹⁰B, p and n, the atomic mass excess of ¹⁰C is then 15698.8 ± 0.5keV. This value does not include a contribution from unpublished work on ¹²C(p, t)¹⁰C quoted in (84AJ01). However, we adopt the (88WA18) value: 15699.1 ± 0.3 keV.

B(E2) for ¹⁰C*(3.35) = (6.2 ± 1.0) x 10^-3 e² · b²,

[Q₀ = 0.25 ± 0.02b] (87RA01).

1. 10C(β+)10B

Qm = 3.6481

¹⁰C decays with a half-life of 19.255 ± 0.053 sec to ¹⁰B*(0.7, 1.7): the branching ratios are (98.53 ± 0.02)% and (1.465 ± 0.014)%, respectively: see (74AJ01). See also reaction 40 in ¹⁰B and (86CA1L).

2. 7Li(3He, π-)10C

Qm = -125.429

At E(³He) = 235 MeV ¹⁰C*(3.35) is populated (84BI08). π^- production in this reaction has also been studied by (84BR22) at E(³He) = 910 MeV.

3. 7Li(7Li, 4n)10C

Qm = -18.171

Tetra-neutron (n⁴) production has been studied in this and in other reactions involving ¹⁰C at E(⁷Li) = 82 MeV (87ALZG; prelim.): it is not observed.

4. 9Be(p, π-)10C

Qm = -136.631

Angular distributions of π^- groups have been measured at E_p = 185 MeV (to ¹⁰C*(0, 3.35, 5.28, 6.63)), at 200 MeV (g.s.), at 800 MeV (to ¹⁰C*(0, 3.35, 5.3, 6.6)) [see (84AJ01)] and at E_{pol. p} = 650 MeV (86HO23; ¹⁰C*(0, 3.35); also A_y). A_y measurements have also been reported at E_p = 200 to 250 MeV: see (84AJ01).

5. 10B(p, n)10C	Qm = -4.4305
	Q0 = -4430.17 ± 0.34 keV (84BA12)

The E_x of ¹⁰C*(3.35) = 3352.7 ± 1.5 keV, τ_m = 155 ± 25 fsec, Γ_γ = 4.25 ± 0.69 meV. Angular distributions have been measured for the n₀ and n₁ groups and for the neutrons to ¹⁰C*(5.2 ± 0.3) at E_p = 30 and 50 MeV [see (74AJ01, 79AJ01)] and for the n₀ and n₁ groups at E_p = 14.0, 14.3 and 14.6 MeV (85SC08) and 15.8 and 18.6 MeV (85GU1C; prelim.). See also (84BA1R, 88KA2E).

6. 10B(3He, t)10C

Qm = -3.6667

Angular distributions have been measured at E(³He) = 14 MeV and 217 MeV: see (79AJ01). The latter [to ¹⁰C*(0, 3.35, 5.6)] have been compared with microscopic calculations using a central + tensor interaction [J^π = 0⁺, 2⁺, 2⁺]. Structures have been reported at E_x = 5.22 ± 0.04 [Γ = 225 ± 45 keV], 5.38 ± 0.07 [300 ± 60 keV] and 6.580 ± 0.020 MeV [190 ± 35 keV].

7. 12C(p, t)10C

Qm = -23.3600

Angular distributions have been reported at E_p = 30.0 to 54.1 MeV and at 80 MeV [see (74AJ01, 79AJ01, 84AJ01)]. L = 0, 2 and 2 to ¹⁰C*(0, 3.35, 5.28) thus leading to 0⁺, 2⁺ and 2⁺ for these states [but note that the "5.28 MeV" state is certainly unresolved]: see reaction 6 and Table 10.18 (in PDF or PS). ¹⁰C*(6.6) is also populated. Two measurements of the excitation energy of ¹⁰C*(3.4) are 3353.5 ± 1.0 keV, 3354.3 ± 1.1 keV: see (84AJ01) [based on Q_m]. See also (87KW01; theor.).

8. 13C(3He, 6He)10C

Qm = -15.235

At E(³He) = 70.3 MeV the angular distributions of the ⁶He ions corresponding to the population of ¹⁰C*(0, 3.35) have been measured. The group to ¹⁰C*(3.35) is much more intense than the ground-state group: see (79AJ01).
