Neutron total cross sections of /sup 60/Ni were measured with broad resolution from approx. 0.5 to 5.0 MeV at intervals of less than or equal to 50 keV. Differential elastic neutron scattering cross sections were measured from 1.5 to 4.0 MeV at intervals of less than or equal to 50 keV over the scattered neutron angular range from approx. 20 to 160/sup 0/. Differential cross sections for the inelastic neutron excitation of states at 1.342 +- 0.013, 2.168 +- 0.012, 2.304 +- 0.026, 2.509 +- 0.022, 2.636 +- 0.019, and 3.164 +- 0.041 MeV were also measured. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of optical-statistical and coupled-channel models, including consideration of compound nucleus fluctuations and direct-vibrational processes.
