The low-energy structure of 65Fe has been studied by means of γ and fast-timing spectroscopy at the ISOLDE facility, CERN. A level scheme of 65Fe populated following the β-decay of 65Mn was established for the first time. It includes 41 levels and 85 transitions. The excitation energy of the β-decaying isomer in 65Fe has been precisely determined at 393.7(2) keV. The β-delayed neutron emission branch was measured as Pn = 7.9(12)%, which cannot be reconciled with the previously reported value of 21.0(5)%. Four γ rays and four excited states in 64Fe were identified as being populated following the β-n decay. Four lifetimes and five lifetime limits in the subnanosecond range have been measured using the advanced time-delayed βγγ(t) method. The level scheme is compared with shell-model calculations. Tentative spin and parity assignments are proposed based on the observed transition rates, the calculations, and the systematics of the region ; This work was supported by the Spanish MINECO (FPA2010-17142 and FPA2011-29854), CPAN (CSD-2007- 00042@ Ingenio 2010), RA-NET NuPNET (PRI-PIMNUP- 2011-1338 and PRI-PIMMNUP-2011-1361) and Comunidad de Madrid, Spain (HEPHACOS S2009/ESP-1473).

9 pags., 8 figs., 4 tabs. ; The low-energy structure of Co65 was studied by means of γ-and fast-timing spectroscopy at the ISOLDE/CERN facility. The known level scheme of Co65 populated following the β-decay of Fe65 was expanded. The experimental results were compared with large-scale shell-model calculations. The measured long lifetime of the (1/21-) level confirms its nature as a highly collective state with proton excitations across the Z=28 gap and neutrons across the N=40 subshell. ; This work was partially supported by the Spanish MINECO through Projects No. FPA2014-57196 and No. FPA2015-65035-P and Centro de Excelencia Severo Ochoa Programme (Project No. SEV-2016-0597).
