Abstract
The level scheme of Cu-57 is investigated via the H-1(Ni-58,Cu-57-gamm a)2n reaction by using the recoil mass spectrometer MARS at the Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute. Three low-lying excited states are observed i n Cu-57 at 1028 +/- 4, 1106 +/- 4, and 2398 +/- 10 keV. The results ar e compared with well known excited states of the mirror nucleus Ni-57. Th, measured excited states of Cu-57 allow recalculation of the astro physical reaction rate for the stellar radiative proton capture reacti on Ni-56(p,gamma)Cu-57.
