The spectroscopy of Cu62 is studied via the Cr54(C12,1p3n)Cu62 fusion-evaporation reaction. On the basis of the γ−γ coincidence analysis, angular distributions from oriented states, and linear polarization measurement, three positive-parity and three negative-parity level sequences in Cu62 are observed, including two new γ-ray transitions and one new level. The collective structures are discussed in terms of the tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory. Although not firmly confirmed in experiment, the properties of a magnetic rotational structure with the π(f7/2)−1(p3/2f5/2)2⊗ν(g9/2)1(p3/2f5/2)4 configuration have been discussed. Its angular momentum generation is probably due to the shears mechanism.2 MoreReceived 16 June 2021Revised 17 October 2021Accepted 11 January 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.105.024305©2022 American Physical SocietyPhysics Subject Headings (PhySH)Research AreasCollective levelsElectromagnetic transitionsNuclear fusionNuclear structure & decaysTransfer reactionsProperties59 ≤ A ≤ 89TechniquesCollective modelsNuclear Physics
