Single-Neutron Transfer to 50Ti
POSTER
Abstract
Single-neutron states of $^{51}$Ti have been studied using the reaction $^{50}$Ti$(d,p)^{51}$Ti with a deuteron energy of 16 MeV at the John D. Fox Laboratory at Florida State University using the Super-Enge Split-Pole Spectrograph. Proton momentum spectra were measured at a scattering angle range of 10-50 degrees at five degree increments. This work is motivated by discrepancies between recent inelastic proton-scattering measurements of collective octupole states of neutron-rich calcium and titanium isotopes and Random Phase Approximation predictions, which depend on empirically-determined single-neutron structure beyond $^{48}$Ca. Preliminary results and plans of future analysis will be discussed.
