Abstract
A new version of the “recoil distance method”, making use of a gas target, has been used to determine the lifetime of the 871 keV level in17O and of the 495 keV level in17F. The measured values of the lifetimes are (2.32±0.08) · 10−10 sec and (3.96±0.10) · 10−10 sec for17O and17F, respectively.
