63Ni

63Ni is formed when 62Ni + n fuse. Its levels just above each threshold are the resonances that set those reactions' rates.

Channels and what has been measured

Every EXFOR reaction that forms 63Ni: entrance pair (rows) and the quantities measured (columns), with the energies covered.

Resonances in the window

Levels between the 62Ni(n,γ)63Ni threshold (S = 6837.8 keV) and the top of the Gamow window at T9 = 0.3 (58.2 keV above it), with the resonance strengths ωγ EXFOR holds for them.
