Abstract

A 36 mg cm2 thick natW target was irradiated with 11.5 MeV/u 76Ge of 15 to 20 particle-nA beam intensity. On-line mass-separated samples of projectile-like neutron-rich products from multi-nucleon transfer-reactions were investigated in the region of mass 58-69 by β and γ-ray spectroscopy. The new isotope 60Cr was identified with a half-life of 0.57 (6) s and for the 60Mn ground state a half-life value of 51 (6) s was obtained. Decay schemes were constructed for 58Cr, 58Mn (t 1 2 = 3s), 65,66,67Co and 69Ni. One new γ-ray was found in the decay of 59Cr. The Qβ value of 66Co was measured yielding 9.7 (5) MeV. The comparison of the measured new β half-life of 60Cr with the most recent predictions gave again an enhancement of the experimental value.
