Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=76 Isobars

Abstract

The experimental nuclear spectroscopic data for known nuclides of mass number 76 (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y) have been evaluated and presented together with Adopted properties for levels and γ rays. With the exception of structure data for ⁷⁶Ga nucleus, significant new data have been incorporated for all the other nuclides of A=76 since the previous 1995 update in ENSDF database and NDS publication 1995Si03. No data are yet available for excited states in ⁷⁶Fe, ⁷⁶Cu and ⁷⁶Y. Decay scheme characteristics for the decay of ⁷⁶Co, ⁷⁶Ni, and ⁷⁶Y are unknown while those for decays of ⁷⁶Cu and ⁷⁶Sr seem incomplete. For ⁷⁶Ni, very little structure data are available, and for ⁷⁶Ga and ⁷⁶As, only low-spin ($\text{J}<4$ or so) information is available. This work supersedes the data presented in the previous (1995Si03) NDS evaluation of A=76.
