Level structure of 47Ti from the (d,p) reaction in 46Ti

The reaction ⁴⁶Ti(d, p) is studied at 10 MeV using the Aldermaston tandem Van de Graaff accelerator and a multichannel magnetic spectrograph. A total of 180 levels are observed up to an excitation of ≈ 7.2 MeV and the stripping angular distributions are analysed in terms of the DWBA theory of direct reactions using the NL/FR optical model potential. Spins, parities and spectroscopic factors are deduced for various levels. Summed spectroscopic factors and quasiparticle energies are obtained for shell model states. Properties of low-lying levels in ⁴⁷Ti are compared with the MBZ and Coriolis coupling models and also with those of the isotonic nuclei ⁴⁵Ca and ⁴⁶Sc.
