Abstract
First and preliminary results of an experiment aimed at measuring g-factors of isomeric states in neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of 68Ni are reported. Isomers near the predicted N = 40 sub-shell closure in 69Cu, 67Ni and 66Co have been populated in the fragmentation of a 76Ge, 61.4 MeV/u beam onto a 145 mg/cm2 9Be target at GANIL. Here we report the results for the 357(2) ns, 1π = 13/2+ isomer in 69Cu for which a preliminary gyromagnetic ratio of g = 0.195(9) was derived. The Larmor precession of the spin-oriented isomeric ensemble was measured by recording γ-ion correlations in a 20 μs time window. This pioneering experiment has indicated interesting nuclear structure information and shows promising possibilities for future studies of this kind.
