Inelastic Proton Scattering on the Isotopes Ni62, Ni64, Cu63, and Cu65 at 17.5 MeV

Abstract
The nuclei Ni62, Cu63, and Cu65 were studied by means of the inelastic scattering of 17.5-MeV protons. The total energy resolution of about 40 keV in this experiment enabled many closely spaced states to be resolved. Transition strengths were extracted for the strongly excited states using the distorted-wave Born approximation, and the results were compared with the weak-coupling model of odd-A nuclei.
