15O Half-life Measurement at the NSL

Published: May 2020 Brodeur

Lead Author(s): D.P. Burdette

Prior to this measurement, the half-life was the dominant source of uncertainty in the ft-value for the superallowed mixed β transition of ¹⁵O. The half-life of ¹⁵O was precisely measured, with a factor of 2 better precision than any previous measurement, to be 122.308(49) seconds. Learn more
