Nuclear reaction path around the Cu isotope.

Caption

The β+ decay process of 62Cu is an alternative pathway for the synthesis of the "iron group element" 62Ni, and knowledge of the radiative neutron capture reaction 62Cu(n, γ) can help us understand the nucleosynthesis of intermediate-mass elements.
