E0 transition strength in stable Ni isotopes

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ^58,60,62Ni(p, p'), E=4.7-9.2 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γ(θ), conversion electrons using the CAESAR array for γ detection and Super-e spectrometer for electron detection at ANU-Canberra. ^58,60,62Ni(n, n'), E=2.42, 2.90 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, level half-lives by DSAM at the University of Kentucky Accelerator Laboratory. ^58,60,62Ni; deduced levels, J, π, K-conversion coefficients, E2/M1 multipole mixing ratios and E0 admixtures in 2+ to 2+ transitions, 0+ to 0+ E0 transitions, electric monopole (E0) transition strengths, B(M1), B(E2). Comparison with evaluated data in Nuclear Data Sheets. Systematics of 2+ to 2+ and 0+ to 0+ monopole transition strengths ρ²(E0) in even-even nuclei with A<250.
