Abstract
Nuclear spins and precise values of the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of the ground-states of neutron-rich 76􀀀78Cu isotopes were measured using the Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (CRIS) experiment at ISOLDE, CERN. The nuclear moments of the less exotic 73;75Cu isotopes were re-measured with similar precision, yielding values that are consistent with earlier measurements. The moments of the odd-odd isotopes, and 78 29Cu (N = 49) in particular, are used to investigate excitations of the assumed doubly-magic 78Ni core through comparisons with large-scale shell-model calculations. Despite the narrowing of the Z = 28 shell gap between N 45 and N = 50, the magicity of Z = 28 and N = 50 is restored towards 78Ni. This is due to weakened dynamical correlations, as clearly probed by the present moment measurements.
