Inelastic Scattering of Protons fromCu65,Ni58,Ni60, andNi62

Abstract

The Rice Institute 180° magnetic spectrometer was used in measuring the energies of inelastically scattered protons from targets of natural nickel and from targets enriched in the isotopes ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{58}$, ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{60}$, ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{62}$, and ${\mathrm{Cu}}^{65}$. Energy levels below 3.09-Mev excitation in ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{58}$, ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{60}$, and ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{62}$ and below 1.64-Mev excitation in ${\mathrm{Cu}}^{65}$ were determined.
