The Q-values shown in Table 1 refer to the formation of the ground state. Increase absolute Q-values for isomeric
states with level energy of the isomer. When complex particles are emitted instead of individual protons and neutrons
the absolute Q-values have to be decreased by the respective binding energies of the compound particles: np-d, +2.2
MeV; 2np-t, +8.48 MeV; 2p2n-, +28.30 MeV.
