The (p,n) reaction cross sections for proton bombardment of natural copper at a poton energy of 9.3 plus or minus 0.3 Mev were measured by an activation method. The results, 480 plus or minus 20 and 895 plus or minus 35 mb respectively for the isotopes Cu/sup 63/ and Cu/sup 65/, when combined with accepted values of the (p,q) cross sections near this energy give a total reaction cross section of 9l0 plus or minus 25 mb, in good agreement with results obtained in this laboratory and elsewhere by direct methods.
