Investigation of levels in59Ni following the β+ decay of59Cu

Abstract

82s59Cu was produced by the58Ni(p, γ)59Cu reaction using enriched target. The γ-ray spectra following the gb+ decay of59Cu were studied using two 65 cm3 and 55 cm3 Ge(Li) detectors. Besides confirming all the previously known γ-rays from59Cu decay, new γ-rays have been observed and additional direct β+ branches to the 1778.8 and 1950keV states of59Ni have been identified with estimated log/tft values of 5.6 and 6.7 respectively. Validity of some of the controversial levels around 1700 keV is discussed. The weak γ-ray branches from levels upto 1679.7 keV are compared and found to be in fair agreement with the theoretical predictions of Glaudemans et al.
