Abstract

The nucleus ¹⁴O has been produced via the ¹⁴N(p,n) ¹⁴O and ¹²C(³He,n)¹⁴O reactions, and its half-life measured by using fast scintillators to detect the 2.3 MeV gamma ray which follows its positron decay. Possible systematic effects due to pileup or dead time in the electronics or data acquisition systems were investigated. Results from data obtained with a germanium semiconductor detector were rejected. A half-life of 70.641(20) s was obtained.
