Abstract
We present preliminary results from a measurement of nuclear level densities and the -ray strength of light Sc and Ti isotopes using the Oslo Method.
Highlights
Nuclear level densities and γ-ray strength functions are important ingredients in calculations of stellar isotope abundances, and in the prediction of nuclear reactor burnup products
We present preliminary results obtained using this method for light Sc and Ti isotopes, among them the first application of the Oslo Method to an isotope produced in a (p, α) reaction
A proton beam with an energy of 32 MeV impinged on a 46Ti target of 3 mg/cm2 thickness enriched to 86 % 46Ti
Summary
Nuclear level densities and γ-ray strength functions are important ingredients in calculations of stellar isotope abundances, and in the prediction of nuclear reactor burnup products. A continuing effort has since long been devoted to the study of these nuclear properties both experimentally and theoretically. The nuclear physics group at the University of Oslo has in the last years concentrated on the study of these nuclear properties using a procedure often called the “Oslo Method”. We present preliminary results obtained using this method for light Sc and Ti isotopes, among them the first application of the Oslo Method to an isotope produced in a (p, α) reaction.
