We have measured cross sections for the 63Cu({alpha},{gamma})67Ga reaction in the 5.9-8.7 MeV energy range using an activation technique. Natural Cu foils were bombarded with alpha beams from the 88'' Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Activated foils were counted using the gamma spectrometry system at LBNL's Low Background Facility. The 63Cu({alpha},{gamma})67Ga cross sections were determined and compared with the latest NON-SMOKER theoretical values. Experimental cross sections were found to be in agreement with theoretical values.
