Level densities of 44 Sc and 47 Ti from different experimental techniques

The level densities of 44Sc and 47Ti have been determined from measurements of particle evaporation spectra from the compound nuclear reaction 3He + 45Sc with an 11 MeV 3He beam. The level density of 44Sc has been compared to the level density obtained from an independent experimental method based on an analysis of α-γ coincidences from the transfer reaction 45Sc(3He,αγ )44Sc. The good agreement between the two experiments indicates the reliability of the level density obtained. Some level density systematics have been tested against the experimental data. New Fermi-gas level density parameters have been derived.
