Analogue resonances of low lying levels of 52V in the 51V(p,γ)52Cr reaction

Abstract

The analogues of the 52V levels at 0.793 and 0.846 MeV have been examined as resonances in the 51V (p, gamma )52Cr reaction at proton energies of 1.567 and 1.629 MeV. The resonance at 1.567 MeV and hence the 0.793 MeV 52V level has been assigned Jpi of 3+ and the most probable Jpi value for the 1.629 MeV resonance and hence the 0.846 MeV 52V level is shown to be 4+. These results are consistent with previous theoretical calculations of the 52V levels.
