摘要
Background: Measurements of the f t values for T = 1/2 mirror beta(+) decays offer a method to test the conserved vector current hypothesis and to determine V-ud, the up-down matrix element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. In mostmirror decays used for these tests, uncertainties in the f t values are dominated by the uncertainties in the half-lives. Purpose: Two precision half-life measurements were performed for the T = 1/2 beta(+) emitters, F-17 and Cl-33, in order to eliminate the half-life as the leading source of uncertainty in their f t values. Method: Half-lives of F-17 and Cl-33 were determined using beta counting of implanted radioactive ion beam samples on a moving tape transport system at the Systeme de Production d'Ions Radioactifs Acceleres en Ligne low-energy identification station at the Grand Accelerateur National d'Ions Lourds. Results: The F-17 half-life result, 64.347 (35) s, precise to +/- 0.05%, is a factor of 5 times more precise than the previous world average. The half-life of Cl-33 was determined to be 2.5038 (22) s. The current precision of +/- 0.09% is nearly 2 times more precise compared to the previous world average. Conclusions: The precision achieved during the present measurements implies that the half-life no longer dominates the uncertainty of the f t values for both T = 1/2 mirror decays F-17 and Cl-33.
