Abstract

The beta decay of

{}^{16}C

{}^{16}N

(

0^{-}

, 120 keV) has been observed. The branching ratio is (

{0.68}_{- 0.11}^{+ 0.09}

)% and the

log f_{0} t = {6.70}_{- 0.05}^{+ 0.07}

. The rate of this

0^{+}

→

0^{-}

transition is dominated by the time component of the axial-vector current, which is expected to receive a large enhancement from pion-exchange currents. An upper limit of

{}^{16}N

(

1^{-}

, 398 keV).
