The two-step cascade method previously used in neutron-capture experiments is now applied to a proton-capture reaction. The spectrum of two-step cascades populating the first 2{sup +} level of {sup 60}Ni has been measured with the {sup 59}Co(p,2{gamma}){sup 60}Ni reaction. The simulation technique used for the spectrum analysis allows one to reveal the range of possible shapes of both E1 and M1 {gamma}-strength functions. The low-energy enhancement previously observed in {sup 3}He-induced reactions is seen to appear in M1 strength functions of {sup 60}Ni.
