Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 58

The evaluated spectroscopic data are presented for known nuclides of mass 58 (Ca,Sc,Ti,V,Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Zn). Excited-state data are nonexistent for 58Ca, 58Sc, and 58Zn; and very scarce for 58Ti and 58V, with only one tentative level in each case. Except for half-lives, no other radioactive decay data are available for the decay of 58Sc and 58Ti. The radioactive decays of 58V, 58Cr and 58Zn are not considered as well established. Superdeformed structures are known in 58Ni (two bands) and in 58Cu (one band). Prompt proton decay of high-spin states in 58Ni for eight levels and prompt α decay for two states have been identified. In 58Cu, one high-spin state decays by prompt proton emission. Very complex high-spin structures are now known for 58Ni from the work by 2009Jo03.
