General Comments:

The mass excess adopted by (2012Wa38) is 32.41 MeV 10. See also 1986Vi09, 1987Gi05, 1988Wo09, 1991Or01.

Halo nucleus:

The 19C nucleus has been suggested as a 1-neutron halo nucleus based on measurements of various reaction cross sections and momentum distributions of breakup products. See discussions in:

1989Sa10: E(19C)=45.12 MeV/nucleon, Cu target, σreaction=2.7 b 15.

1995Ba28: E(19C)≈77.2 MeV/nucleon, Be target, FWHM(18C parallel momentum dist)lab=44 MeV/c 6.

1996Ma25: E(19C)=30.3 MeV/nucleon, Ta target, σ1n=2.5 b 4, σcharge changing=0.595 b 10, FWHM(n angular momentum dist)=42 MeV/c.

1998Ba28: E(19C)≈88 MeV/nucleon, Be and Ta targets, σ(Be)1n=105 mb 17 and FWHM(18C parallel momentum dist)=42 MeV/c 4. σ(Ta)1n=1.1 b 4 and FWHM(18C parallel momentum dist)=41 MeV/c 3.

1998Ba87: E(19C)≈910 MeV/nucleon, carbon target, FWHM(18C parallel momentum dist)=69 MeV/c 3. See (1999Sm01) who suggest the momentum distributions at different energies are affected by the low-lying excited state.

2001Co06: E(19C)≈910 MeV/nucleon, C and Pb targets, σ(C)1n=233 mb 51 and σ(Pb)1n=1967 mb 334. Evaluated relationship between S1n and the S1n separation energy. See also (2000Co31).

2001Oz03: E(19C)=960 MeV/nucleon, carbon target, σinteraction=1231 mb 28, analyzed relation of σi to effective matter radius.

2009Na39: E(19C)=240 MeV/nucleon, carbon and lead targets, σ(C)1n=132 mb 4 and σ(Pb)1n=969 mb 34. Deduced σ1n(Coulomb)=690 mb 70.

2016To10: E=307 MeV/nucleon, carbon target, σinteraction=1.125|+0.025(stat)|+0.013(sys) b; find Rmatterrms=3.10+0.05-0.03 fm.

2001Ma08, 2001Ma21: E(19C)≈50 MeV/nucleon, 9Be target surrounded by 11 NaI detectors, σ1n=264 mb 80 on 9Be, σ1n=1.35 b 18 on Au. Deduced (56 9)% of 1n-removal events populate 18Cg.s. and measured a narrow 18Cg.s. parallel momentum distribution by gateing on events not in coincidence with γ rays. By considering the relationship between the parallel momentum distribution width and Sn they deduce Sn≈650 keV 150. Their analysis is found consistent only if Jπ(19C)=1/2+.

2010Ta04: E(19C)=40 MeV/nucleon, 1H liquid hydrogen target, σR=754 mb 22, using the transmission method.

Decay: Studies of the β-delayed neutron emission have been carried out in (1991Re02: β-n=β1n+2(β2n)+3(β3n)...=(53 26)%), (1995ReZZ/2008ReZZ: β-n=(66 9)%), and (1988Du09: β1n=(47 3)% and β2n=(7 3)%. Analysis of β-γ coincidences indicate the β1n decay populates 19N*(6400,6508,7025), which subsequently neutron decay to 18B*(115,587) see (1995Oz02). There is evidence for additional branches that β-2n decay to 17B with β-2n=(7 3)% (1988Du09).

  282   The Jπ of this state had initially been suggested as 5/2+ based on expectations from shell model analysis. In this case β2=0.29 3; deduced from integrated experimental cross section for this state from 0|’-1.7|’ and distorted wave analysis (2005El07). However, subsequent observations and discussion in (2011Oz01, 2012Ko38, 2013Th06) support the notion that the first Jπ=5/2+ state must be unbound.
