Shell model and collective high spin states in nuclei: 45,47Ti, 47,49V and 51Mn

Several new levels, in particular with high angular momentum, were observed in the odd-A nuclei of the View the MathML source shell 45,47Ti, 47,49V and 51Mn. Several reactions mainly induced by heavy ions were studied: 40Ca(14N, 2pn)51Mn, 50Cr(3He, pn)51Mn, 35Cl(16O, αpn)45Ti, 27Al(24Mg, αpn)45Ti, 44Ca(7Li,p3n)47Ti, 24Mg(32s, α3p)49V, 40Ca(12C, 3p)49V and 24Mg(32S, 2αp)47V with bombarding energies from the Coulomb barrier value up to the maximum corresponding to ≈ 9.5 MV Tandem voltage. Standard techniques of in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy were adopted: γ-ray excitation functions, angular distributions and γ-γ coincidences. Methods of spin assignment are discussed.
