Abstract

We report the results from the first experiment to measure gyromagnetic factors of μs isomers in neutron-rich nuclei produced by intermediate-energy projectile-fragmentation reactions. The Time Dependent Perturbed Angular Distribution (TDPAD) method was applied in combination with the heavy-ion-gamma correlation technique. The nuclides in the vicinity of ⁶⁸ Ni were produced and spin-oriented following the fragmentation of a ⁷⁶ Ge, 61.4 MeV/u beam at GANIL. The results obtained, |g|(^69m Cu) = 0.225(25) and |g|(^67m Ni) = 0.125(6) provide another indication of the importance of proton excitation across the Z = 28 shell gap for the description of these states.
