Samples of pure copper were argon ion irradiated using a Plasma Gun operated in the detonation mode. The irradiated copper samples were studied by means of the Mechanical Dynamical Spectroscopy technique. The results show an anomalous behavior in the Elasticity Shear Modulus, consisting in an abrupt jump in its value at ∼840K, repeated in the running up as well as in the running down part of the temperature cycling. A Damping Peak at that temperature was also observed.
