Abstract

A new measurement of the β-delayed α decay of N16 has been performed using a set of high efficiency ionization chambers. Sources were made by implantation of a N16 beam, yielding very clean α spectra down to energies as low as 400 keV. Our data are in good agreement with earlier results. For the S factor SE1, we obtain a value of 74±21keVb. In spite of improvements in the measurement, the error in SE1 remains relatively large because of the correlations among the fit parameters and the uncertainties inherent to the extrapolation.
