Masses and energy levels ofFe62andNi68: (C14,O16) reaction on even Ni and Zn isotopes

Abstract
The (C14, O16) reaction on even Ni and Zn isotopes has been investigated at 72 MeV bombarding energy. The mass excesses of Fe62 and Ni68 are determined to be -58.84±0.04 and -63.55±0.04 MeV, respectively. Previously unknown excited states are found. Spectroscopic factors for transitions to ground states and to the first excited states are shown to increase with the neutron number.
