Details regarding the -decay properties of 54,55,56 Sc are reported and compared with shell model predictions. The low-energy level structures of even-even 54,56 Ti are presented, and the systematic variation of the energy of the first excited 2 1 + state is discussed in light of proposed shell closures at N = 32, 34 for the neutron-rich Ti isotopes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
