Level Structure ofTi44

The level structure of ${}_{}{}^{44}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$ has been studied using the ${}_{}{}^{46}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}\mathrm{}(p,t)\mathrm{}$ reaction at a proton energy of 51 MeV. Experimental angular distributions were compared with distorted-wave Born approximation calculations to determine the angular momentum transfers. Spin, parity, and enhancement factors were extracted for the levels observed up to 9.330-MeV excitation energy. The measured $Q$ value for the ground-state transition was determined to be -14.235 ± 0.010 MeV. A strong $L=2\mathrm{}$ transition at $E_x=6.600\mathrm{}$ MeV is assigned as the $T=1\mathrm{}$ analog of the ${}_{}{}^{44}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Sc}$ ground state, and an $L=0\mathrm{}$ transition at 9.330 MeV is assigned as the $T=2\mathrm{}$ analog of the ${}_{}{}^{44}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}$ ground state.
