A novel measurement of the β-decay half-life of 14O, and its relevance to the standard model

► Test of Standard Model. ► Determined Ft value for super-allowed β-decay of 14O. ► Sophisticated digital data collection allows pile-up correction. ► Active production of 14O via 12C(He3,n) 14O reaction. ► Test for unitarity of first row of CKM matrix.
