Study of theNi64(p, t)Ni62reaction

Energy levels in ${}_{}{}^{62}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ni}$ up to an excitation energy of 6.4 MeV have been studied by the ${}_{}{}^{64}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ni}(p, t){}_{}{}^{62}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ni}$ reaction at 40 MeV bombarding energy with an over-all resolution of 12 keV full width at half maximum. Spins and parities are assigned to levels which were excited with characteristic angular distributions. These include $0^{+}$ states at 2.05, 2.89, 4.23, 4.62, and 5.45 MeV. A distorted-wave analysis based on shell-model wave functions was performed and compared to the experimental differential cross sections.
