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.
