“…Recent progress in both experimental and theoretical directions brought new valuable data for the heavy odd-odd N = Z nuclei 46 V [4,5,6,13,14,15,16] , 50 Mn [7,17,18,19,20,21], and 54 Co [22,23,24,25] in the lower part of the pfshell (f 7/2 -shell) and even for some nuclei of the upper part of the pf -shell, like 70 Br [26,27]. While some understanding of the key problems of the low-energy structure of f 7/2 nuclei seems to be obtained and regularities similar to the ones appropriate for the sd-shell are revealed there are still many uncertainties for low-spin structure of these nuclei with mass numbers A > 56 [28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35]. The first odd-odd N = Z nucleus of this region, which may help to draw confident conclusions on the situation in the mass region above 56 Ni is 58 Cu.…”
