1. 16C(β-)16N

Qm = 8.012

The half life of ¹⁶C is 0.747 ± 0.008 sec. It decays to ¹⁶N*(0.12, 3.35, 4.32) [J^π = 0^-, 1⁺, 1⁺]: see Table 16.3 (in PDF or PS) and (93CH1A). See also (86AJ04) and see (86KI05, 88WA1E, 92WA1L) for theoretical discussions of extended shell-model calculations of 0⁺ --> 0^- transitions and determination of the mesonic enhancements ε_mec of the time-like component of the axial current. See also (92TO04) and see ¹⁶N, reaction 1.

2. 14C(t, p)16C

Qm = -3.013

States of ¹⁶C observed in this reaction are displayed in Table 16.2 (in PDF or PS). See also Table 16.3 (in PDF or PS) of (82AJ01).

3. 16O(K-, π+)Σ16C

(85BE31) used negative kaons of 450 MeV/c to produce Σ hypernuclear states, which they interpreted as Σ^- particles in the p_3/2 and p_1/2 orbits of the _Σ¹⁶C hypernucleus. Their energy splitting was used to constrain the Σ^- spin-orbit coupling.

(86HA26) performed a systematic shell-model analysis of Σ-hypernuclear states, in which they deduced a ΣN-spin-orbit interaction about twice as strong as the one for the nucleon. (86MA1J) reached a similar conclusion after extracting the one-particle spin-orbit splitting ε_Σ = ε^Σp_1/2 - ε^Σp_3/2. (87WU05) used the continuum shell-model to study competition between resonant and quasi-free Σ-hyeprnuclear production. The observed structures in the excitation spectra are essentially accounted for by the quasi-free mechanism alone. (89DO1I) perform a series of shell model calculations of energy spectra of p-shell Σ hyeprnuclei, starting with several different parameterizations of the ΣN effective interaction. Production cross sections are estimated using DWBA. They suggest experiments to resolve open questions regarding the ΣN and Σ-nucleus interactions. (89HA32) uses the recoil continuum shell model to calculate in-flight Σ hyernuclei production of this reaction (and others). The needed to modify the ΣN central interaction to fit data.

Coupled channels (CC) calculations for Σ-hypernuclear spectra give an energy integrated cross section which is about 1.7 times the experimental value (87HA40). (88HA1I) report CC calculations emphasizing the proper treatment of the Σ continuum states. They find that a weak Σ central potential and a comparable ΣΛ conversion potential are required to describe experiment.
