Physics motivations Starting point: Comparison of beta decay of 56 Zn with its mirror process 56 Fe( 3 He,t) 56 Co. Motivations: 1. Study of the γ de-excitation of the IAS in 56 Co. 2. Clarification of the J π assignment of two key levels in 56 Co. At RCNP (Osaka, Japan) At GANIL (France) 1

Studying the mirror process: Beta decay experiment at GANIL The beta decay experiment was carried out at GANIL in 2010, focused on the production of 56 Zn. (S. Orrigo, B. Rubio, Y. Fujita, W. Gelletly et. al.) The analysis of this experiment is very advanced. In order to fully interpret this work a better understanding of the 56 Co excited states will be crucial. 56 Zn → 56 Cu + β + 56 Z n 4 EXOGAM clovers for gamma detection 4 EXOGAM clovers for gamma detection 4 EXOGAM clovers for gamma detection 3

Preliminary results of MINIBALL experiment at MLL (2) 1185 keV peak from the de-excitation of the 2635 keV level: # Counts: 1.12·10 5 # Counts per measurable angle: 1.12·10 5 /(4x3x6) ≈ 1555 Clarification of the J π of the levels 3076 keV and 2636 keV in 56 Co using angular correlations keV peak Isospin mixed states T=1 0 + T=2 0 + IAS keV 480 Miniball: 4 clusters 3 crystal/cluster 6 segments/crystal Gated in the 480 keV line 10
Conclusions Stability and well behaviour of MINIBALL detectors. Crosstalk problem. We have to restrict to coincidences between different Clusters. From the motivation point of view: Angular correlations: we will be able to clarify the spin-assignment of the 2636 keV and 3076 keV states. Gamma de-excitation of the two 0 + isospin mixed states We should be able to set meaningful upper limits to those "new" two gamma lines from the de- excitation of the 0 + T=1 state. 11
