Abstract: Applicability of the optical statistical approach version, based on the spherical optical model, model of an excited core and modern versions of statistical model, for the description of a neutrons inelastic scattering by 63Cu and 65Cu nuclei was studied first in the energy range from a threshold up to 9 МeV. Within the framework of this approach the possibility of an adequate description of experimental data set on inelastic scattering cross-sections was shown. The results of the theoretical analysis were used for investigation of fast neutrons inelastic scattering mechanism by the studied nuclei. It was shown, that a compound mechanism of inelastic scattering gives the predominant contribution to excitation cross-sections of the lowest three levels of studied nuclei only in the neutron energy range up to 5 МeV, and at the end of studied energy range these levels are excited by means of the direct scattering mechanism.
