1. (a) 17N(β-)17O* --> 16O + n	Qm = 4.557
(b) 17N(β-)17O	Qm = 8.680

The half-life of ¹⁷N is 4.173 ± 0.004 sec. The decay is principally [see Table 17.3 (in PDF or PS)] to the neutron unbound states ¹⁷O*(4.55, 5.38, 5.94) [J^π = 3/2^-, 3/2^-, 1/2^-]. The nature of the decay is in agreement with J^π = 1/2^- for ¹⁷N_g.s.: see (82AJ01). For a comparison of the ¹⁷N and ¹⁷Ne decays see Table 17.4 (in PDF or PS). For GT transition rates see (SN83A) and (RA83L). See also (FR77K).

2. 11B(7Li, p)17N

Qm = 8.415

Observed proton groups and γ-rays are displayed in Table 17.5 (in PDF or PS). Table 17.2 (in PDF or PS) shows branching ratio and lifetime measurements.

3. 14C(6Li, 3He)17N

Qm = -5.697

At E(⁶Li) = 34 MeV angular distributions have been studied to ¹⁷N*(1.91, 2.53, 3.63, 4.10, 5.17) and the results compared with those for the analog reaction to ¹⁷O (reaction 16) (CU83C).

4. 15N(t, p)17N

Qm = -0.109

Observed proton groups are displayed in Table 17.6 (in PDF or PS).

5. 18O(γ, p)17N

Qm = -15.942

The giant resonance at E_x = 23.5 MeV decays to ¹⁷N_g.s. and to the first excited states of ¹⁷N (BA82). See also ¹⁸O in (83AJ01).

6. 18O(d, 3He)17N

Qm = -10.449

Observed groups of ³He ions are displayed in Table 17.5 (in PDF or PS). See also (82AJ01) and ²⁰F in (83AJ01).

7. 18O(t, α)17N

Qm = 3.872

See Tables 17.2 (in PDF or PS) and 17.5 (in PDF or PS).
