Abstract

β-decay half-lives have been measured for eight neutron-rich isotopes produced by bombardment of a

{}^{181}{Ta}

target with an

{}^{18}O

beam at 30 MeV/nucleon. The previously unknown half-lives of

{}^{14}{Be}

(4.2±0.7 ms) and

{}^{17}C

(202±17 ms) have been obtained along with the half-lives of

{}^{9}{Li}

,

{}^{11}{Li}

,

{}^{12}{Be}

,

{}^{14}B

, and

{}^{15}B

. This experiment represents the first half-life measurements using the Michigan State reaction product mass separator.
