Levels above the 19/2(-) isomer in Cu-71: Persistence of the N=40 neutron shell gap

Two prompt γ rays of energies 2020 and 554 keV were observed in coincidence with delayed transitions depopulating the 19/2- isomer in the Z=29, N=42 Cu71 nucleus. The newly identified transitions are proposed to deexcite the 4776- and 5330-keV levels above the 19/2- isomer. Based on the comparison w...
