The results of investigations of the dissociation of a 14N nucleus of momentum 2.86~A~GeV/c in photo-emulsion are presented. The main characteristics of these reactions, that is the cross sections for various fragmentation channels, are given. The fragmentation was analyzed by means of an invariant approach. The momentum and correlation characteristics of α particles for the 14N→3α+X channel in the laboratory system and the rest systems of 3α particles were considered. The results obtained for the 14N nucleus are compared with similar data for the 12C and 16O nuclei.
