Mass of ¹²N: From a weighted average of the Q₀ values for ¹⁰B(³He, n)¹²N and ¹²C(p, n)¹²N (see reactions 2 and 3), M - A for ¹²N = 17.342 ± 0.005 MeV.

1. 12N(β+)12C

Qm = 17.342

Measured values of the half-life are displayed in Table 12.28 (in PDF or PS). The decay is complex; ¹²N decays to the ground state of ¹²C and to several excited states: see ¹²C.

2. 10B(3He, n)12N	Qm = 1.570
	Q0 = 1.561 ± 0.009 (KA64);
	Q0 = 1.568 ± 0.020 (ZA66);
	Q0 = 1.570 ± 0.025 (FI64);
	Q0 = 1.574 ± 0.007 (AD67A);
	Q0 = 1.569 ± 0.005 (mean).

Observed neutron groups are displayed in Table 12.29 (in PDF or PS) (AJ57A, KA64, ZA66, AD67A). Angular distributions have been studied at E(³He) = 2.5 and 3.6 MeV (AJ57A) at E(³He) = 2.4, 2.75 and 2.94 MeV (AD67A), and at E(³He) = 4.0 and 5.8 MeV (ZA66). See also (BR64H, SC66E, AL67A) and (SH65F, SH66C; theor.).

3. 12C(p, n)12N	Qm = -18.124
	Q0 = -18.122 ± 0.009 (BR66P).

At E_p = 138 MeV, θ = 3° , neutron structure corresponding to the ground state (and possibly to the unresolved first two energy levels of ¹²N) is observed in addition to structure corresponding to ¹²N*(E_x ~ 6 MeV). At large angles (to θ = 16°), the latter structure becomes relatively more prominent. It is suggested that it corresponds to the ¹²N equivalent of the T = 1 giant dipole state at E_x ~ 20 MeV in ¹²C (LA63C; see also (BO62B)). See also (AL49A, TA60K, BA63K, EL63A).

4. 12C(3He, t)12N

Qm = -17.361

At E(³He) = 44.6 MeV, triton groups are observed to the ground state of ¹²N and to the first excited state: E_x = 0.957 ± 0.020 MeV (BA67). See also (RI65B).

5. 14N(γ, 2n)12N

Qm = -30.621

See ¹⁴N.

6. 14N(p, t)12N

Qm = -22.139

At E_p = 43.7 MeV, triton groups are observed to ¹²N(0) and to the first excited state: E_x = 0.963 ± 0.030 MeV (CE67A).
