ABS>The plausibility of interpreting the inelastic scattering of alpha particles by the odd nuclei Cu/sup 63/ and Cu/sup 65/ in terms of the coupling of a 3/2- proton to the nuclei Ni/sup 62/ and Ni/sup 64/ respectively is examined. It is assumed that there is a non-negligible interaction between the outside proton and the even Ni nucleus. The interpretation is based on a comparison of inelastic alpha scattering by the four nuclei under consideration. (T.F.H.)

Experimental results obtained at Saclay by alpha-particle scattering have been analysed with the Austern- Blair model. Deformation parameters δ 2 I and transition probabilities B ( I →0) are compared with other experimental data and theoretical predictions.

“Two-phonon” excitations observed at Saclay by alpha-particle scattering have been analysed with the Austern -Blair model. The experimental data are not always in agreement with a “two-phonon” description of those levels.
