General Comments:

1987Ar21, 1989BeYL, 1991Kr15: 77Cu nucleus identified in thermal neutron fission of 235U

1997Be12: 77Cu is also produced in (238U,X) on Pb and Be targets followed by fragment separation

2009Pa35: 77Cu produced in the fission of uranium (target=uranium carbide) by spallation neutrons which were produced by 1 GeV protons hitting a tantalum target. The 77Cu nuclei were selected by Resonant Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) and General Purpose mass separator (GPS) at the CERN-ISOLDE facility. The separated 77Cu nuclei at a typical energy of 60 keV were implanted on a tape surrounded by three E-ΔE plastic detectors for β-particle detection and two HPGe detectors. Measured γ, βγ coin, ββ coin, γγ coin and delayed-neutron events. The neutrons were detected with the Mainz neutron long counter. The main contamination was from Ga activity. In the presence of the impurities, singles β spectrum could not be obtained

2009Il01, 2009Wi03 (also 2009Gr06): 77Cu isotope produced in the reaction 238U(p,F) with a 50 MeV beam provided by the HRIBF facility at ORNL, RIB facility. The radioactive beams were extracted and mass separated. Detected decay products with a Micro-channel plate detector, an ionization chamber and a moving tape collector. Measured γ, β, γγ and βγ coin with two plastic β-detectors and γ-rays with four clover Germanium detectors. According to 2009Gr06 there is no evidence of an isomer in 77Cu which may decay to positive-parity states in 77Zn

2017De30: 77Cu produced in 1.4-GeV proton bombardment of UCx target using HRS mass separator, ISCOOL gas-filled segmented linear Paul trap, and RILIS at ISOLDE-CERN facility. Measured hyperfine spectra, hyperfine structure parameters, magnetic dipole moment and electric quadrupole moment by Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (CRIS).

2017We16: measured mass excess by tof ion-cyclotron resonance. Measured mass excess(77Cu)=-48862.8 keV 12 (2017We16) as compared to -48620 keV 150 (2017Wa10, from systematic trend)

Nuclear structure theory calculations: 2012Sr02: 5/2- predicted for g.s. in shell model calculations with LSSM-III interaction

Theoretical calculations: consult the NSR database at www.nndc.bnl.gov for 12 primary theory references dealing with nuclear structure calculations, and radioactive decays.

Q-value: Estimated uncertainties: 400 for S(p) and Q(α)

Q-value: Q(β-n)=5362.9 19, S(2n)=10534.1 26, S(2p)=33791 500 (syst)

Q-value: The Q values and separation energies have been deduced by the evaluator from measured mass excesses for 77Cu and 77Cu by 2017We16 and others from 2017Wa10.

E(level): Deduced from least-squares fit to Eγ data

Jπ(level): As assigned by 2017Sa32 in their level-scheme Fig. 3, based partly on shell-model calculations. The ground-state spin of 5/2 is measured by 2011Ko36
