A new precision half-life measurement of 13N has been conducted using the TwinSol β-counting station at the University of Notre Dame. Here, the measured value of $$t^{new}_{1/2}$$ = 597.05(19) s differs from the previous world value by about 2.8σ. An evaluation of the 13N half-life results in a $$t^{world}_{1/2}$$ = 597.19(22) s. Updated Standard Model predictions for the Fermi to Gamow-Teller mixing ratio ρ and its associated correlation parameters have been calculated using the new 13N world half life in preparation for a future measurement of the mixing ratio. Finally, an ab initio no-core configuration interaction (NCCI) calculation for the B(GT) of this decay, carried out using the Daejeon16 interaction, has been carried out, revealing the need for higher-order chiral corrections.
