Abstract
Several nuclear data tables1,2 report the existence of a 0.56.MeV. γ-ray in the disintegration scheme of the positron-emitting isotope copper-62, the evidence advanced being an unpublished absorption measurement. We have lately had occasion to examine the spectrum of γ-rays emitted by copper-62, and have failed to find any evidence to confirm the existence of such a γ-ray.
