16B (93TI07)(Not illustrated)
This nucleus has not been observed in the 4.8 GeV proton bombardment
of a uranium target. It is particle unstable. Its mass excess is
predicted to be 37.97 MeV; it would then be unstable with respect to
decay into 15B + n by 0.93 MeV. See (85WA02,
86AJ04).
The ground state is predicted to have Jπ = 0-
and the first three excited states are predicted to lie at 0.95, 1.10, and
1.55 MeV [Jπ = 2-, 3-,
4-] in a (0 + 1)h-barω space
shell model calculation. See (83ANZQ,
85PO10,
86AJ04). Predicted
masses and excitation energies for higher isospin multiplets for
9 < / = A < / = 60 are included in the compilation (86AN07).
An
experiment (85LA1A) involving in-flight identification of fragments
from 44 MeV/u 40Ar found no trace of 18B or
16B and provides strong evidence that 16B is particle-unstable.
