Abstract

Electromagnetic decay transitions in 63Zn and 63Cu have been studied using the 60Ni( alpha ,n gamma )63Zn and 60Ni( alpha ,p gamma )63Cu reactions at incident beam energies of 9.5-19.0 MeV, the 54Fe(11B,np gamma )63Zn and 54Fe(11B,2p gamma )63Cu reactions at EB=30.0 MeV, and the 58Ni(7Li,pn gamma )63Zn reaction at ELi=20.0 MeV. Gamma-gamma coincidence measurements have been used to determine the decay schemes. Spins and parities of the levels together with branching and mixing ratios of the gamma -ray transitions have been deduced from angular distribution and linear polarisation measurements. Mean lifetimes of the 193, 248, 1704 and 2585 keV levels in 63Zn have been obtained using the recoil-distance method (RDM). Lifetimes of many levels in 63Zn and 63Cu have been deduced from the Doppler-shift attenuation method (DSAM). The results are discussed in terms of the shell model and the intermediate coupling model.
