Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 62

Experimental nuclear spectroscopic data for known nuclides of mass number 62 (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge) have been evaluated and presented together with adopted properties of levels and γ rays. New high-spin data are available for 62Ga, and 62Zn. Results of in-beam γ-ray studies for 62Cu producing high-spin states are in conflict in terms of gamma-ray placements and branching ratios. In the opinion of the evaluators, a detailed study of high-spin structures in 62Cu is needed to obtain a consistent and confident level scheme. Precise studies of superallowed β decay of 62Ga to 62Zn by several groups have extended the decay scheme. No significant new data, since the 2000 NDS for A = 62 (2000Hu18), have been reported for 62Co, 62Ni and 62Cu. No data are yet available for excited states in 62Ti and 62V, and those for 62Cr and 62Ge are scarce. The level lifetime data are available in very few cases. The radioactive decay schemes of 62Ti and 62Ge are unknown, and those for 62V, 62Cr and 92-ms 62Mn are scantily known. The data presented here supersede those in the earlier NDS publications.
