Mass of ⁹Li: From the Q-value of ¹⁸O(⁷Li, ¹⁶O)⁹Li, the atomic mass excess of ⁹Li is 24.9654 ± 0.005 MeV (NE69D; prelim. results). (WA71M) adopt 24.966 ± 0.005 MeV. We use the latter value.

1. 9Li(β-)9Be

Qm = 13.618

The half-life of ⁹Li is 172 ± 3 msec [see (66LA04)], 176 ± 1 msec (DO65D), 177 ± 3 msec (CH70, CH70W). We adopt τ_1/2 = 176 ± 2 msec. See also (BO68M). ⁹Li decays to ⁹Be*(0, 2.43, 2.78): see ⁹Be and Table 9.7 (in PDF or PS) (CH70, CH70W). See also (AL63F, MA69H). Log ft values are listed in Table 9.7 (in PDF or PS): the allowed nature of the transitions to ⁹Be*(0, 2.43, 2.78) with J^π = 3/2^-, 5/2^- and (1/2^-) is evidence for J^π = 3/2 for ⁹Li(0) (CH70).

E_β^-(max) have been measured by (AL63F, NE63C, KL69B). Delayed neutrons are observed due to the decay of the neutron unbound states ⁹Be*(2.43, 2.78): see ⁹Be. See also (BA66A, BA66T, DA70K, LI71G, WI71K, WI72I, WI72L, HA73M, TO73F, WI73D; theor.).

2. 7Li(t, p)9Li	Qm = -2.397
	Q0 = -2.397 ± 0.020 (MI64E).

Proton groups are observed to excited states at E_x = 2.691 ± 0.005 MeV (MI64E), 4.31 ± 0.03, 5.38 ± 0.06 and 6.41 ± 0.02 MeV (YO71B) [Γ_cm = 250 ± 30, 600 ± 100, < 100 keV, respectively]. Angular distributions are reported at E_t = 11.3 MeV (MI64E; t₀) and 15 MeV (YO71B; t₀, t₂, t₄). The angular distributions to ⁹Li(0) are consistent with J^π = 3/2^- and the relative magnitude of the cross section to ⁹Li*(2.69) is consistent with J^π = 1/2^-: see (MI64E, YO71B). See also (HO68A; theor.) and (MA69H, CH70).
