Study of the 48Ti(α,p)51V and 50Ti(3He,d)51V Reactions

Abstract

The reactions 48Ti(α,p)51V at ten bombarding energies between 8.25 and 10.75 MeV and 50Ti(3He,d)51V at 10 MeV bombarding energy have been studied. Energy levels of 51V up to 4.85 and 6.17 MeV have been observed by (α,p) and (3He,d) reactions respectively. The (α,p) reaction yielded many new energy levels. The angular distributions for deuterons were measured at lab angles between 15° and 120°, and compared with predictions of DWBA calculations using the TSALLY code from which the transferred angular momenta and spectroscopic factors were deduced. These experimental results are examined from the viewpoint of shell model and strong coupling rotator model calculations. The effect of changing various optical model parameters is also discussed.
