Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=63 Isobars*

Experimental nuclear structure and decay data are evaluated for 13 known nuclides of mass number A=63 (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se). Detailed evaluated level properties and related information are presented and recommended spectroscopic parameters are provided, combining all the data from various reactions and decays. No excited state has been observed for 63Ti, 63As and 63Se, among which the first two nuclides have no halflife, decay modes and spin-parity being measured and reported yet. The ground-state spins and/or parities of 63V, 63Cr, 63Mn, and 63Ge still have not been definitely determined and information for excited states in these nuclides plus 63Fe is limited. Information for 63Ga is mostly from one measurement and no data for 63Ge s+/3+ decay have been measured while this decay mode (%100) of the 63Ge parent is known. The 63Cu nuclide is the most extensively studied via more than 28 different reactions and decays, followed by 63Zn and 63Ni. Among all those nuclides, only 63Cu has a complete radioactive decay scheme. This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=63 published by 2001Ba27, 1991Ki10, 1979Au10, and 1975Au03.
