The separate cross sections are measured for interactions of 7.5 Mev protons with natural copper and vanadium. Angular distributions for elastic scattering are presented. The (inelastic scattering + alpha emission) cross sections are for Cu, 266 mb, and 134 rwb for V. The (p,n) reaction cross sections are 537 mb for Cu/sup 65/, and 555 mb for V/sup 51/. These data, along with separate measurements of polarization from copper, are compared with optical model computations. The results indicate a volume-absorption potential rather than a surface-absorption potential. (auth)
