The β–decay of ⁵⁶Cu to the doubly magic nucleus ⁵⁶Ni was studied. ⁵⁶Cu was produced by ²⁸Si(³²S, p3n) fusion–evaporation reactions at the GSI online mass separator. This decay, characterised by an unusually high Q_EC value of 15300(140) keV, is expected to make a major part of the allowed β–decay strength accessible to experiment. For the first time, the half–life of ⁵⁶Cu was measured, and a decay scheme was deduced from the four observed β–delayed γ lines. The experimental results are compared with shell–model predictions.
