Abstract

We have measured cross sections for the $^{63}\mathrm{Cu}(\ensuremath{\alpha},\ensuremath{\gamma})^{67}\mathrm{Ga}$ reaction in the $5.9\ensuremath{-}$ to $8.7\ensuremath{-}\text{MeV}$ energy range using an activation technique. Natural Cu foils were bombarded with \ensuremath{\alpha} beams from the ${88}^{''}$ Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Activated foils were counted using a \ensuremath{\gamma}-spectrometry system at LBNL's Low Background Facility. The $^{63}\mathrm{Cu}(\ensuremath{\alpha},\ensuremath{\gamma})^{67}\mathrm{Ga}$ cross sections were determined and compared with the latest NON-SMOKER theoretical values. Experimental cross sections were found to be in agreement with theoretical values.
