A. Ozawa et al., MEASUREMENT OF THE BETA-DECAY BRANCHING RATIO OF NE-17 INTO THE FIRSTEXCITED-STATE OF F-17, Journal of physics. G, Nuclear and particle physics, 24(1), 1998, pp. 143-150
The first forbidden beta-decay of Ne-17 into the first excited state o
f F-17 has been remeasured by a new direct method. The measured branch
ing ratio, 1.56 +/- 0.20%, is consistent with that previously presente
d; thus the large asymmetry of the beta-decay strength between Ne-17 a
nd N-17 decays has been confirmed.
