General Comments:

Mass measurements: 2023Wa10 (M.E.=-46806 42), 2011Tu02 (M.E.=-46937 85)

2023Wa10: 65As was produced in 9Be(78Kr,X) with E=460 MeV/nucleon 78Kr beam from the accelerator at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL). Fragments were separated by the RIBLL2 separator and injected into the experimental cooler storage ring (CSRe). Measured time-of-flight. Deduced mass excess.

2017GoZT (thesis; also 2020Gi02): 65As was produced in the fragmentation of a 350 MeV/nucleon 78Kr beam at RIKEN. Fragments were identified and selected by the BigRIPS and the ZDS separators, and implanted into the WAS3ABi device consisting of 3 DSSSDs, surrounded by the EURICA array of Ge detectors for γ-ray detection. Measured E(p), I(p), implant-decay time correlations, Eγ. Deduced T1/2

2011Tu02 (also 2011ZhZV): 9Be(78Kr,X) E=483.4 MeV/nucleon at HIRFL. Measured time-of-flight. Deduced mass excess.

2014Ro14: 65As was produced in the fragmentation of 70 MeV/nucleon 78Kr beam with Ni target at GANIL. Fragments were selected with the LISE3 separator and identified by time-of-flight and energy loss. Measured half-life of 65As ground-state decay by (fragment)β, (fragment)γ correlations using set of four Si detectors (an energy loss ΔE detector, a degrade, DSSD and Si(Li)) for particles surrounded by four HPGe Clover detectors, three EXOGAM and one mini-clover Ge detector for γ rays.

2002Lo13,2002Bl17: 65As was produced by fragmentation of 73 MeV/nucleon 78Kr beam at GANIL. Measured implant-β(t). Deduced T1/2

1993Wi03: 65As was produced by fragmentation of 75 MeV/nucleon 78Kr beam by an enriched 58Ni target and mass separation at NSCL. Measured T1/2.

1991Mo10: 65As was produced by fragmentation of 65 MeV/nucleon 78Kr beam on an enriched 58Ni target at NSCL. First observation of 65As as recognized in 2010Sh34 compilation of isotope discovery

1991XuZZ: 65As was produced by fragmentation of 20 MeV/nucleon 64Zn beam incident on a Be target and mass separation at RIKEN; claims to be first identification of 65As; no other data.

1990Ro15: search for proton radioactivity of 65As was made with 40Ca(32S,αp2n) at E(32S)=200 MeV and 40Ca(28Si,p2n) at E(28Si)=175 MeV and mass separation at LBNL. No such activity was observed in the proton energy range of 200-700 keV. Authors conclude that 65As must decay mostly by positron emission or by proton emission with T1/2 < 100 μs.

1989Ho19: search for proton radioactivity of 65As was made with 40Ca(28Si,p2n) at E(28Si)=87 MeV and mass separation at Orsay. They looked for proton radioactivity in the energy range 250-600 keV and half-life of 10 μs to 100 ms. No such activity was observed and the authors established a lower production cross section limit of 1×10-6 barn.

1988HoZL, 1989HoZQ: search for proton radioactivity of 65As was made with 40Ca(28Si,p2n) at E(28Si)=140 MeV and separation of reaction products with a mass analyzer at Daresbury. No evidence was found for proton decay of 65As; the authors conclude that 65As decays predominantly by positron emission with a weak proton decay branch or its half-life is less than 5 μs which is below the detection capability of their equipment.

%ε+%β+: no evidence of ground state proton decay was found by 1993Wi03,1989Ho19. Relativistic mean field model predict stable against p emission (2001Pa02).
Jπ(level): From calculations using D1S Gogny interactions and shell-model approach using the JUN45 interactions predict oblate-deformed shape (2011Ob02). The ordering of 3/2- and 5/2- states is tentative.
