Yield measurements in the reactions48Ca(p, γ)49Sc and48Ca(p,n)48Sc

Abstract
Absolute cross sections for the reactions 48Ca(p, gamma )49Sc and 48Ca(p,n)48Sc have been measured for proton bombarding energies from 0.76 MeV to 2.20 MeV. The results are in satisfactory agreement with predictions of the Hauser-Feshbach statistical model of nuclear reactions. In particular, the predicted flattening out of the (p, gamma ) cross section above the threshold for the (p,n3) channel is consistent with the data.
