Nuclear Data Sheets for A=64
The evaluated experimental data are presented and evaluated for 13 known nuclides of mass 64 (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se). For each nuclide, the best values combining all available data are recommended for spectroscopic properties. No excited states have been identified in 64 Ti, 64 As, and 64 Se. Only one excited state in 64 V as an isomer, and three in 64 Cr have been identified. Data for excited states in 64 Mn, 64 Fe, and 64 Co remain limited. 64 Ni, 64 Cu, and 64 Zn are the most studied nuclides through various reactions and decays, followed by 64 Ga and 64 Ge. In the opinion of the evaluators, there are several incomplete or discrepant aspects of the high-spin portion of the level scheme for 64 Zn above ≈5 MeV excitation which need to be resolved in further experiments using large γ-detector arrays. The decay schemes of 64 Ti β - , 64 As ε and 64 Se ε are unknown, while very little information is available for 64 V β - and 64 Cr β - . The decay schemes of 64 Mn β - , 64 Fe β - , 64 Co β - and 64Ge ε are somewhat better known, but still considered incomplete by evaluators. The decay scheme of 64 Ga ε decay is known in detail, however there is the possibility of additional levels populated above 4713 keV, as the Q(ε) value is 7171 keV. The β - , β + and ε decay modes of 64 Cu are well known, as this radionuclide is of great importance in applications, for example, as a dosimeter for neutron flux determination in nuclear reactors, and as a radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography (PET). This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=64 by 2007Si04, 1996Si12, 1991Si03, 1979Ha35 and 1974Au04.
