Level Structure ofNi64

Abstract
Excited states of Ni64 have been investigated through the study of the inelastic scattering of 11-MeV protons from an isotopically enriched target of Ni64. Excitation energies of 30 levels between 1.34 and 5.49 MeV are reported. For the level at 3.55 MeV a spin and parity assignment of 3 is suggested.
