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