Abstract

The angular distribution of gamma rays excited by both the (p,n) and (α,n) reactions leading to the final nuclei 63Zn and 68Ga have been measured. The results have been compared with the compound nucleus statistical model and it is found that: a) the correct spin for the 190 keV level of 63Zn is uniquely determined; b) the (p,n) and (α,n) reactions yield identical values for the multipole mixing ratios; c) the variation of the gamma-ray angular distributions with incident energy, following the (p,n) reaction, is correctly predicted by the model.
