Abstract

In two separate experiments the half-life of C10 has been measured to be 19.294±0.016 s and 19.300±0.041 s. This has resolved the previous disagreement in the literature and gives a final value of 19.290±0.012 s when combined with the other, concordant determinations. Only the branching ratio now needs to be remeasured to enable the ft value of the C10 superallowed positron decay to be calculated with a precision of 0.1%.
