Level density parameters of47Ti and50V

Abstract

The energy distribution of the protons andα-particles from the reactions47Ti(α, α′),47Ti(α, p) and50V(p, α) was measured in the angular range from 60° to 150°. The energies of the incoming particles were 15.35 MeV forα-particles and 13.85 MeV for protons. The results can be described in the frame of the statistical model of the nuclear reactions. The level density parameters could be determined by comparing the experimental data with the theoretical results. The values for the backshifted Fermi gas model are47Ti:a=6.6±0.6MeV−1,Δ=−0.5±0.3 MeV50V:a=6.3±0.6 MeV−1,Δ=−1.0±0.3 MeV.
