Abstract
The level structure of 46Ti has been studied by means of the 45Sc(3He, d)46Ti reaction with 24.3 MeV 3He particles. Thirty-eight deuteron groups have been observed with a broad-range magnetic spectrograph up to an excitation of 8.5 MeV in 46Ti. Angular distributions were measured and compared with DW calculations to obtain values of the orbital angular momentum transfer and spectroscopic information. For most of the angular distributions there is considerable mixing from shells other than 1f7⁄2. Energies and spectroscopic factors of low-lying levels are compared with those calculated with the pure (1f7⁄2)6 configuration model. Comparison with 50Cr, a cross-conjugate nucleus of 46Ti, is also made.
