The (p, n) reaction cross sections for proton bombardment of natural copper at a proton energy of 9.3 ± 0.3 MeV have been measured by an activation method. The results, 480 ± 20 mbn and 895 ± 35 mbn respectively for the isotopes <sup>63</sup>Cu and <sup>65</sup>Cu, when combined with accepted values of the (p, q) cross sections near this energy give a total reaction cross section of 910 ± 25 mbn, in good agreement with results obtained in this laboratory and elsewhere by direct methods.
