Gamma-ray spectroscopy studies ofTi52

Nuclear properties of the excited states of ${}_{}{}^{52}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$ were measured using the ${}_{}{}^{50}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}(t,p\gamma )$ reaction at a bombarding energy of $E_t=2.9\mathrm{}$ MeV. Angular correlations of $\gamma$ rays were obtained using an array of five NaI(Tl) counters in time coincidence with an annular particle detector positioned near 180°. Unique spin assignments for some of the excited states were obtained in addition to multipole-mixing-ratio and branching-ratio information. Nuclear lifetimes were measured using the Doppler-shift-attenuation method. Some of the measured excitation energies, spins, and mean lifetimes [$E_x$ (keV), $J$, and $\tau$ (psec)], respectively, are as follows: ($1047.1\pm 0.3,2,{4.8}_{-2.1\mathrm{}}^{+8.0\mathrm{}}$); ($2259.4\pm 0.6,2,{0.05}_{-0.02\mathrm{}}^{+0.03\mathrm{}}$); (2427.9 ± 1.5, 2, ≤0.1); and (3582.5 ± 2.0, ≥1, ≤0.09).
