50Cr(p, g)51Mn Reaction from Ep = 1·45 to 2·07 MeV

Abstract

Proton resonances in the SOCr(p, )1)51 Mn reaction have been studied in the range Ep = 1450-2070 keV. Gamma-ray spectra, measured at 55° to the beam direction at each of the resonances at Ep = 1451, 1546, 1580, 1600, 1689, 1798, 1830, 2031, 2042 and 2067 keV with a high resolution 35 cm3 Ge(Li) detector, have been used to derive the decay schemes of the resonant and bound levels in 51 Mn. Decays to the bound levels at 4'052, 4'729, 4'925, 5'073, 5'129, 5'174, 5'188, 5·203 and 5·506 MeV have been observed in the proton capture reaction for the first time, while new results have been obtained for the decay of some of these levels.
