Abstract
The ground state Q value of the reaction Li, Cu has been measured [Q=-29.564(50) MeV]. The cross section for this reaction was found to be 130(30) nb/sr at 5.0 deg in the laboratory. This is the first report of the use of the LiHe) reaction and the first measurement of the mass excess. The deduced atomic mass excess is -47.35(5) MeV. The implications of this result with respect to Coulomb displacement energy anomalies and nucleosynthesis of elements with A>56 by the rp process are discussed.
