Ca46(He3,d)Sc47Reaction

Abstract

The level structure of ${\mathrm{Sc}}^{47}$ has been studied by means of the ${\mathrm{Ca}}^{46}({\mathrm{He}}^3,d){\mathrm{Sc}}^{47}$ reaction. Thirty-three levels have been observed up to an excitation of 7.5 MeV in ${\mathrm{Sc}}^{47}$. Angular distributions were measured and compared with distorted-wave Born-approximation calculations to obtain values of the orbital-angular-momentum transfer and spectroscopic factors. All of the $f_{\frac{7}{2}}$ strength and part of the $p_{\frac{3}{2}}$ and $p_{\frac{1}{2}}$ strength are observed, but no more than 30% of the total $f_{\frac{5}{2}}$ strength is observed below an excitation of 7.5 MeV.
