Abstract

For the first time evidence of the ground state of the proton-rich, unbound nucleus $^{10} N$ has been found in the multinucleon transfer reaction $^{10} B (^{14} N,^{14} B)^{10} N .$ The observed resonance of $^{10} N$ has a mass excess of 38.8(4) MeV and a width of $Γ = 2.3 (16) MeV,$ close to the Audi-Wapstra estimation of 38.5(4) MeV. $^{10} N$ is the last missing $A = 10$ multiplet partner.
