Excitation functions for48Ca(d,p)49Ca(0) in the rangeE d=3.0–5.5 MeV

Excitation curves for⁴⁸Ca(d, p)⁴⁹Ca(0) have been measured at 12 angles in the energy region from 3.0–5.5 MeV with the aim to investigate the charge exchange effect expected at the analogous (d, n) threshold opening at 4.3 MeV. A broad flat minimum is seen in the 165° excitation curve around this threshold which is however much less significant than the charge exchange cusps observed in theA ≈ 90 mass region. More significant structure is seen atE _d≈5 MeV which possibly may be connected with⁴⁸Ca(4.611) core excitation or due to an intermediate state in⁵⁰Sc.
