Pre-equilibrium and direct-semi-direct model calculations of proton radiative capture excitation functions near A = 60

Excitation functions of integrated cross section for proton radiative capture in 56Fe, 59Co, 53,60,61Ni, 63Cu and 64Zn were calculated using pre-equilibrium-equilibrium capture exciton model and, for comparison, also the direct-semi-direct capture model in order to extend the systematic study of the former one in the region of medium-weight nuclei. After the correction of binding energies for pairing within the pre-equilibrium calculations, the results of both models compare relatively well to the available experimental data. (Author)
