1. 8B(β+)8Be

Qm = 17.979

The β⁺ decay leads mainly to ⁸Be*(2.9). The mean half-lives listed in (74AJ01) is 770 ± 3 msec; log ft = 5.64. There is also a branch to a ⁸Be* state at ~ 16.6 MeV; log ft = 3.3. See also (79AJ01) and reaction 28 in ⁸Be. See also (RA78F), (DA79O, HA80Q, PE80K, BA81EE, BA81GG, BA81JJ, IT81, BA82B, CO82A, KL82B, TR83B; astrophsyics) and (DE79C, OK80, BA81OO, HO81C, IT82; theor.).

2. 6Li(d, π-)8B

Qm = -135.266

At E_d = 300 and 600 MeV ⁸B*(0, 0.78, 2.32) are populated: the cross sections are higher at the lower (subthreshold for pion production) energy (AS82). See also (LE82I).

3. 6Li(3He, n)8B

Qm = -1.975

Angular distributions for the n₀ group have been reported at E(³He) = 4.8 to 5.7 MeV: L = 0. Two measurements for the E_x of ⁸B*(0.78) are 767 ± 12 and 783 ± 10 keV [Γ = 40 ± 10 keV]: see (74AJ01) and ⁹B.

4. 7Be(p, γ)8B

Qm = 0.138

Absolute cross sections have been measured for E_p = 0.165 to 10.0 MeV. A resonance at E_p = 724 keV [⁸B*(0.771)] with Γ_lab ~ 46 keV [σ_peak = 2.20 ± 0.22 μb, Γ_γ = 50 ± 25 meV] is reported. The zero-energy cross-section factor S₁₇(0) = 0.0216 ± 0.0025 keV · b (FI83A), appreciably lower than earlier results: see (79AJ01). Calulations by (BA80FF) had suggested that S(0) was in the range 0.014 to 0.022 keV · b. The astrophysical implications of this reaction are discussed by (ZI75C, BA80J, BA80FF, BA80NN, BA81II, BA82B, FI83A). The predicted ³⁷Cl ν-capture rate is decreased to 5.3 SNU, a reduction of about 25% in the previous value (FI83A). See also (PE80K; astrophys.) and (WI81; theor.).

5. 7Be(d, n)8B

Qm = -2.087

See (HA83B).

6. 10B(π+, d)8B

Qm = 115.561

See (DO82).

7. 10B(p, t)8B

Qm = -18.531

At E_p = 49.5 MeV angular distributions have been measured for the tritons to ⁸B*(0, 2.32): L = 2 and L = 0 + 2 leading to J^π = 2⁺ and 3⁺, respectively. Measurements of E_x for ⁸B*(2.32) yield 2.29 ± 0.05 MeV, 2.34 ± 0.04 MeV [Γ_lab = 0.39 ± 0.04 MeV]. ⁸B*(0.78) is also observed: see (74AJ01).

8. 11B(3He, 6He)8B

Qm = -16.914

At E(³He) = 72 MeV the first T = 2 state is observed at E_x = 10.619 ± 0.009 MeV, Γ < 60 keV: dσ/dΩ(lab) = 190 nb/sr at θ_lab = 9°. No other states are observed within 2.4 MeV of this state. ⁸B*(0, 0.78, 2.32) have also been populated: see (79AJ01).

9. 12C(3He, 7Li)8B

Qm = -22.896

See (79AJ01).

10. 14C(7Li, 13Be)8B

Qm = -40.0
