Level densities of ⁴⁴Sc and ⁴⁷Ti from different experimental techniques

The level densities of ⁴⁴Sc and ⁴⁷Ti have been determined from measurements of particle evaporation spectra from the compound nuclear reaction ³He+⁴⁵Sc with an 11 MeV ³He beam. The level density of ⁴⁴Sc has been compared to the level density obtained from an independent experimental method based on an analysis of α-γ coincidences from the transfer reaction ⁴⁵Sc(³He,αγ)⁴⁴Sc. The good agreement between the two experiments indicates the reliability of the level density obtained. Some level density systematics have been tested against the experimental data. New Fermi-gas level density parameters have been derived.
