Abstract
High-spin states of the mass A=39 mirror pair 39K and 39Ca were investigated via the fusion-evaporation reaction 28Si+16O at 125 MeV beam energy. The GAMMASPHERE array in conjunction with the $4\pi$ charged-particle detector array MICROBALL and neutron detectors was used to detect $\gamma$ rays in coincidence with evaporated light particles. The results of the first high-spin study of the Tz=-1/2 nucleus 39Ca are discussed in terms of mirror symmetry and compared to spherical shell-model calculations in the 1d3/2-1f7/2 configuration space.
