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