Abstract
Background: Detailed spectroscopy of neutron-rich odd- Cu isotopes is of great importance for studying the shell evolution in the region of . While there is experimental information on excited states in isotopes, the information concerning is very limited.
Purpose: Experimentally observed single-particle, core-coupling, and proton-hole intruder states in , will complete the systematics of these states in the chain of isotopes.
Method: Excited states in were populated in the decay of isotopes. The Ni nuclei were produced by the in-flight fission of projectiles, and were separated, identified, and implanted in a highly segmented Si detector array for the detection of the -decay electrons. The -delayed rays were detected in a HPGe cluster array. Monte Carlo shell model calculations were performed using the A3DA interaction built on the model space for both neutrons and protons.
Results: A level scheme of was built up to MeV by performing a coincidence analysis. The excited states below 2 MeV were interpreted based on the systematics of neutron-rich odd- Cu isotopes and the results of the shell model calculations.
Conclusions: The evolution of the single-particle, core-coupling, and proton-hole intruder states in the chain of neutron-rich odd- Cu isotopes is discussed in the present work, in connection with the newly observed level structure of .
