GENERAL: (85AN28, 86AN07, 87SA15, 89AYZU). See also (86AJ01) and Table 13.21 [Table of Energy Levels] (in PDF or PS) here.

Mass of ¹³O: We adopt the atomic mass excess of 23113 ± 10 keV of (88WO1C). See also (81AJ01). ¹³O is then bound with respect to ¹²N + p and ¹¹C + 2p by 1.514 and 2.115 MeV, respectively.

1. 13O(β+)13N

Qm = 17.767

The half-life of ¹³O has been reported to be 8.7 ± 0.4 ms (65MC09), 8.95 ± 0.20 ms (70ES03), 8.55 ± 0.05 ms (90AS01): the weighted mean is 8.58 ± 0.05 ms and we adopt it. ¹³O decays to a number of states of ¹³N, some of which subsequently decay to ¹²C*(0, 4.4): see Table 13.20 (in PDF or PS). See also (89WI1E; astrophys.) and (89WO1E; theor.).

2. 9Be(13C, 9He)13O

Qm = -49.440

At E(¹³C) = 380 MeV ⁹He*(0, 3.8) are populated (88BO20). The atomic mass excess of ⁹He derived from this work is 41.5 ± 0.6 MeV. In calculating Q_m, we used the value 40.8 ± 0.1 MeV (87SE05): see ⁹He in (88AJ01).

3. 12C(p, π-)13O

Qm = -155.392

At E_p = 613 MeV the ground state of ¹³O and an excited state at E_x = 2.82 ± 0.24 MeV are observed in addition to unresolved structures (78CO15). [See Fig. 4 for analog region in ¹³B.] The angular distribution of the π^- to ¹³O_g.s. has been measured at E_p = 200 MeV (80HO20), as has A_y at E_{pol. p} = 205 MeV: see (86AJ01). For a study of inclusive pion production at E_p = 180 and 201 MeV see (85BI04). See also (85CO11, 86KU1J, 90KU1H; theor.).

4. 13C(π+, π-)13O

Qm = -19.988

At E_π⁺ = 164 MeV excited states are reported at E_x = 2.75 ± 0.04 and 4.21 MeV, as is a broad [Γ = 1.2 MeV] structure corresponding to one or more states at E_x = 6.02 ± 0.08 MeV. At E_π⁺ = 292 MeV these states are not observed. Angular distributions have been studied at E_π⁺ = 164 and 292 MeV to ¹³O_g.s. and at 164 MeV to ¹³O* (4.21) (84SE15). At E_π⁺ = 292 MeV (θ = 5°) a structure with a width of 2.0 ± 1.0 MeV is suggested to be due to a state at E_x = 8.4 ± 0.5 MeV Q = -27.4 ± 0.5 MeV] (89MO09). See also (90MO02).

5. 16O(3He, 6He)13O

Qm = -30.511

See (81AJ01).
