First and preliminary results of an experiment aimed at measuring g -factors of isomeric states in neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of 68 Ni are reported. Isomers near the predicted N =40 sub-shell closure in 69 Cu, 67 Ni and 66 Co have been populated in the fragmentation of a 76 Ge, 61.4 MeV/u beam onto a 145 mg/cm 2 9 Be target at GANIL. Here we report the results for the 357(2) ns, I π =13/2 + isomer in 69 Cu for which a preliminary gyromagnetic ratio of | g |=0.195(9) was derived. The Larmor precession of the spin-oriented isomeric ensemble was measured by recording γ –ion correlations in a 20 μs time window. This pioneering experiment has indicated interesting nuclear structure information and shows promising possibilities for future studies of this kind.
