Rev. Lett. 96, 072502 (2006)), the multi-channel algebraic scattering (MCAS) technique was used to calculate spectral properties for proton-unstable $^{15}$F and its mirror, $^{15}$C. MCAS achieved a close match to the then-new data for $p+^{14}$O elastic scattering and predicted several unusually narrow resonances at higher energies. Subsequently, such narrow resonance states were found. New cross section data has been published characterising the shape of the $J^\\pi =\\frac{1}{2}^-$ resonance. Herein we update that first MCAS analysis and its predictions. We also study the spectra of the set of mass-15 isobars, ${}^{15}$C, ${}^{15}$N, ${}^{15}$O, and ${}^{15}$F, using the MCAS method and seeking a consistent Hamiltonian for clusterisation with a neutron and a proton, separately, coupled to core nuclei ${}^{14}$C and ${}^{14}$O.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-09-10T05:52:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "proton drip line", "predicting narrow states", "first mcas analysis", "cross section data", "narrow resonance states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
