(d, t) Reaction on the Titanium Isotopes

Abstract

The (d,t) reaction on the five stable isotopes of titanium has been studied at a deuteron energy of 21.4 MeV. The three even isotopes show two strong groups separated by about 2 MeV, both groups corresponding to pickup of a I/7/2 neutron. This indicates that there is considerable seniority mixing in the titanium isotopes. Groups corresponding to the pickup of 2p neutrons were observed in both Ti 50 and Ti 48 . In the reaction on Ti 48 , an 1 -2 transition to a state near 1.8 MeV in Ti 47 was found. The odd-even isotopes show a number of strong groups. The ground-state transitions in Ti 48 (d,0Ti 47 and Ti 47 (d,0Ti 46 have not been observed.
