Reactions ⁶⁴Zn( alpha ,p gamma )⁶⁷Ga and ⁵³Cr(¹⁶O, pn gamma )⁶⁷Ga populated the levels in ⁶⁷Ga. Gamma-gamma coincidence experiments were carried out at E_alpha=13 and 15 MeV with the ( alpha ,p gamma ) reaction and E_(16)O=42 MeV with the heavy-ion reaction. The Doppler-shift attenuation method was used with the ( alpha ,p gamma ) reaction to deduce mean lifetimes (or limits) for certain levels, along with the recoil-distance method utilised both in singles and gamma - gamma coincidence with the heavy-ion reaction. A mean lifetime of tau _m=60+or-30 ns for the first excited state at 167 keV was measured using the delayed coincidence method. Gamma-ray angular distributions and linear polarisations were measured at E_alpha=13.5 MeV using a Ge(Li)-NaI(Tl) escape-suppressed spectrometer and a three-Ge(Li) Compton polarimeter and analysis resulted in spin and parity assignments. Transition strengths were calculated and the results are discussed in terms of the particle-cluster-vibrational-core coupling model.
