Abstract

The integrated cross section of the reaction 45Sc(p, n)45Ti as a function of incident proton energy has been measured in the energy interval 2.910 to 5.250 MeV with energy steps of 5 keV. The overall energy resolution was about 3.5 keV. The excitation function shows fluctuations around an average. This average increases with proton energy. The statistical theory of Ericson was applied; the autocorrelation was calculated and used to determine the average width of levels in the compound nucleus 46Ti in the excitation energy range 13.230 to 15.140 MeV. The analysis yields an average width (Γ) of 6 keV corresponding to a compound nucleus lifetime of 1.1. × 10-7 psec.
