The high spin structure in the nucleus ${}^{62}\mathrm{Cu}$ has been studied using the reaction ${}^{50}\mathrm{Cr}{(}^{16}\mathrm{O},3pn)$ at a beam energy of 75 MeV. Most of the levels known from earlier experiments have been confirmed and the spin parity assignments of a few of them have been verified. A number of levels have been proposed extending the energy scheme up to about 7.6 MeV. A simple interacting boson-fermion-fermion model calculation has been performed to explain the observed energy spectrum.
