Proton Excitations inV49

Abstract

The reaction ${}_{}{}^{48}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}({}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}, d){}_{}{}^{49}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{V}$ has been studied at around 17-MeV incident energy with an over-all resolution of 20 keV. Ninety-four levels were observed up to 8.7-MeV excitation, and the corresponding deuteron angular distributions were recorded in the angular interval 7.5° to 40°. Spectroscopic information has been extracted for 26 of the stronger transitions by means of a distorted-wave analysis of the differential cross sections. The results are compared to nuclear-structure-model predictions.
