A high resolution measurement of the cross sections of the 44Ca(p,p0) and 44Ca(p,p1) reactions was performed over the energy range Ep=2.50-3.53 MeV. A total of 809 resonances were observed. The purity and completeness of the 45Sc data were tested with a variety of statistical analyses. These analyses suggest that the 1/2+ and 1/2- resonance sequences are the most pure and complete ever measured. The resulting level densities are ρ(1/2)+=127-8+7 MeV-1 and ρ(1/2-)=132-9+8 MeV-1; there is no evidence of parity dependence of the level density of J=1/2 states at Ex=10 MeV in 45Sc.
