Abstract A search for anomalous carbon atoms $${}^{12}\tilde C$$ — atoms with three K-shell electrons — is made by γ-activation analysis of boron with the impurity carbon removed radiochemically. A limit on the existence of such atoms was determined: $${}^{12}\tilde C/{}^{12}C 〈 2.5 \times 10^{ - 12} $$ . This corresponds to a limit on the lifetime with respect to violation of the Pauli principle by electrons in a carbon atom of τ⩾2×1021 yr.
