Abstract

A new transition is reported in the β-delayed neutron decay of $^{16} C .$ The energy of the associated neutrons is $3.29 \pm 0.03 MeV,$ leading to the feeding, with a branching ratio of $\sim 1 %,$ of a probable $1^{+}$ level in $^{16} N$ at $6.00 \pm 0.03 MeV .$ Such an observation is in good accordance with shell model calculations carried out within the $0 p 1 s 0 d$ model space.
