Abstract
THE half-lives of carbon-10 and neon-19 are not well known. Only two measurements of the half-life of carbon-10 have been reported; the first of 8.8 sec.1 was in error due to an impurity in the boron powder used; the second, due to Sherr et al.2, was 19.1 ± 0.8 sec. In the case of neon-19, values ranging from 17.4 ± 0.2 sec.3 up to 20.3 ± 0.5 sec. have been reported4.
