The Gamow-Teller (GT) states in {sup 58}Cu have been studied by {sup 58}Ni({sup 3}He, t + p) and {sup 58}Ni({sup 3}He, t + {gamma}) coincidence experiments at E({sup 3}He) = 450 MeV and {theta} = 0 deg. Proton emissions from the GT states in {sup 58}Cu to the hole states in {sup 57}Ni have been observed with solid-state detectors in coincidence with high-energy tritons measured with a magnetic spectrometer. For the first time, {gamma}-ray emissions from the excited states in {sup 58}Cu and in {sup 57}Ni, following the {sup 58}Ni({sup 3}He, t + p) reaction at intermediate energies, have also been observed in coincidence with tritons. The wave functions of the T = 1 and T = 2 GT states with the f{sup -1}{sub 7/2} neutron-hole configuration are inferred to be strongly coupled to 2p-2h configurations, making fragmented GT strengths in {sup 58}Cu.
