High-spin states in the doubly magic N = Z nucleus 56Ni have been investigated with three fusion-evaporation reaction experiments. New � -ray transitions are added, and a confirmation of a previously suggested prompt proton decay from a rotational band in 56Ni into the ground state of 55Co is presented. The rotational bands in 56Ni are discussed within the framework of cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations.
