Abstract
A high-precision measurement of the O-14 half-life has been performed using a mass-separated radioactive beam in combination with a germanium detector set-up. This is the first O-14 half-life measurement with a contamination- free source. The final result of 70.560 +/- 0.049 seconds is in agreement w ith the generally adopted mean value.
