Abstract

Energy spectra to the ground state and excited states of 46Ti have been measured for the 45Sc(3He, d)46Ti reaction at a bombarding energy of 29 MeV. Excited levels of 46Ti were observed in a wide energy range from 2 to 16.5 MeV. Levels from 10.4 to 16.5 MeV are observed for the first time and populated with a high probability. The population of high-lying states with energies Ex ≥ 10 MeV in 46Ti and their structure can be explained as the lowest excited levels of the 42Ca + 4He alpha-cluster system corresponding to the superdeformed state of 46Ti.
