 62NI c  1970Jo12 (also 1971JoZN thesis): {+62}Co from {+64}Ni(d,|a),E=16 MeV,
 62NI2c  using enriched {+64}Ni target at the Vrije University AVF cyclotron.
 62NI3c  Measured E|g, I|g, E|b, I|b, |b|g-coin, and half-life of
 62NI4c  {+62}Co g.s. using Ge(Li) detectors and an NE102 plastic scintillator.
 62NI5c  Nine |g rays reported. Identified contaminant activities: {+60}Cu,
 62NI6c  {+61}Cu, {+62}Cu and {+61}Co.
 62NI c  1969Es03: {+62}Co from Ni(n,p),E(n)=14.5 MeV from the Sames 400-kV
 62NI2c  neutron generator using natural Ni target. Measured E|g, I|g, |g|g-coin
 62NI3c  using Ge(Li) and NaI(Tl) detectors. Eleven |g rays reported.
 62NI3c  Identified main contaminant activities: {+57}Ni, {+57}Co, {+58}Co,
 62NI4c  {+60m}Co, {+61}Co, {+61}Fe, and {+63}Co
 62NI c  Other studies:

 62NI3c  using 97.8% and 99.05% enriched {+62}Ni targets and natural Cu target.
 62NI4c  Measured E|g, I|g, E|b, I|b, |g|g-coin, |b|g-coin, and half-life
 62NI5c  of {+62}Co g.s. using Ge(Li), NaI(Tl) and plastic scintillator.
 62NI6c  Four |g rays assigned to the decay of {+62}Co g.s.

 62NI2c  from a neutron generator at Kazakh Academy of Sciences using enriched
 62NI3c  targets (95% {+62}Ni, 98% {+65}Cu). measured E|g, I|g, E|b using Ge(Li)
 62NI4c  detector, and a scintillation |b-ray spectrometer.
 62NI5c  Five |g rays reported.
 62NI c  1962Va23: measured half-life, E|b, I|b

 62NI c  1975TiZW (abstract in a conference proceedings): {+62}Co from
 62NI2c  {+62}Ni(n,p),E=fast neutrons, using enriched {+62}Ni target. Measured
 62NI3c  |b|g-coin spectra using Ge(Li) and scintillation detectors.
 62NI c  Total decay energy of 5324 keV {I44} deduced (by RADLIST code) from
 62NI2c  proposed decay scheme is in agreement with the expected value of
 62NI3c  5322 keV {I19}, indicating that decay scheme is complete
