Abstract

The abundance and distribution of⁴⁴Ti tells us about the nature of the core-collapse supernovae explosions. There is a need to understand the nuclear reaction network creating and destroying⁴⁴Ti in order to use it as a probe for the explosive mechanism. The⁴⁴Ti(α, p)⁴⁷V reaction is a very important reaction and it controls the destruction of⁴⁴Ti. Difficulties with direct measurements have led to an attempt to study this reaction indirectly. Here, the first step of the indirect study which is the identification of levels of the compound nucleus⁴⁸Cr is presented. A 100-MeV proton beam was incident on a⁵⁰Cr target. States in⁴⁸Cr were populated in the⁵⁰Cr(p, t)⁴⁸Cr reaction. The tritons were momentum-analysed in the K600 Q2D magnetic spectrometer at iThemba LABS.
