 62NI2c  97.92% enriched target, followed by chemical separation of Co and Cu
 62NI3c  using exchange columns. Measured E|g, I|g, |g|g-coin using Ge(Li)

 62NI c  1968Ki08: {+62}Co from {+62}Ni(n,p) and {+65}Cu(n,|a),E(n)=14.8 MeV
 62NI2c  from a neutron generator at Kazakh Academy of Sciences using enriched

 62NI4c  detector, and a scintillation |b-ray spectrometer.
 62NI5c  Five |g rays reported.
 62NI c  1960Pr05: measured E|b, half-life of {+62}Co isomer
 62NI c  1957Ga15: measured E|b, I|b, E|g, I|g, |b|g-coin, |g|g-coin, half-life
 62NI2c  of {+62}Co isomer using scintillation detectors. Five |g rays reported.
 62NI c  1954Nu27: measured E|g, I|g for six |g rays.
 62NI c  1949Pa01: identified {+62}Co isotope, measured E|b, half-life of
 62NI2c  {+62}Co isomer
 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  |g and |b|g-coin spectra using Ge(Li) and scintillation detectors.
 62NI4c  Authors reported 1068.4-, 1812.3- and 2018.5-keV |g transitions
 62NI5c  connecting known levels at 2048.6, 0+ and 3861.1, 1+,2+.
 62NI6c  None of these |g rays have been confirmed in a regular article.
 62NI c  Total decay energy of 5171 keV {I54} deduced (by RADLIST code) from
 62NI2c  proposed decay scheme is not in agreement with the expected value of
 62NI3c  5295 keV {I33}, indicating that decay scheme is little complete
 62NI cB IB$|b{+-} per 100 decays of 13.86-min {+62}Co, deduced from
 62NI2cB transition intensity balances at each level. Note that the present
 62NI3cB decay scheme gives I|b=2.3% {I11} for the 1173, 2+ level; and
 62NI4cB I|b=1.2 {I4} for the 2302 level, 2+, while no feedings are expected to
 62NI5cB these levels from the (5)+ parent. Small intensity imbalances are
 62NI6cB likely due to minor inconsistencies in the intensities of the
 62NI7cB feeding gamma transitions.
 62NI cG E,RI$Weighted average of values from 1970Jo12 and 1969Es03,
 62NI2cG when data are available in these studies. Values from 1969Wa16,
 62NI3cG 1969Mo04 and 1968Ki08 are listed in comments. Available data from
 62NI4cG 1970Jo12 and 1969Es03 are most complete, precise and consistent, thus
 62NI5cG preferred over those from 1969Wa16, 1969Mo04 and 1968Ki08.

 62NI3cG of 3271-keV |g ray, which is assigned from the decay of 1.54-min
 62NI4cG activity in 1970Jo12 but from the decay of 13.86-min activity
 62NI5cG in 1969Es03
 62NI cG $|g|g-coincidence data are from 1969Es03 and 1970Jo12

 62NI2cG a 4444-keV level in {+62}Ni, is assigned instead from a 3271 level
 62NI3cG in the decay of 1.54-min activity, based on the assignment of a
 62NI4cG similar energy |g in {+61}Ni(n,|g) study, also given in the Adopted

 62NI cG E,RI$Weighted averages of values from 1970Jo12 and 1969Es03,
