Magnetic Analysis of theV51(d, p)V52Reaction

Abstract

The proton groups from vanadium targets bombarded with 6-Mev deuterons from an electrostatic generator have been analyzed with a 180-degree magnetic spectrograph. The ground-state $Q$ value for the ${\mathrm{V}}^{51}(d, p){\mathrm{V}}^{52}$ reaction was found to be 5.072±0.008 Mev. Of the proton groups observed, twenty-three have been ascribed to vanadium and correspond to excited states in ${\mathrm{V}}^{52}$ between the ground state and an excitation energy of 3.30 Mev.
