Abstract

The one-proton knockout reaction Be-9(Ti-54, Sc-53 + gamma) X at 72 MeV/nucleon has been measured. The location of the first 3/2(-) state at 2110(3) keV was confirmed, and new gamma-ray transitions were observed at 1111(2), 1273(2), 1539(4), and 2495(5) keV. Large spectroscopic strength to excited states in 53Sc was found and attributed to the knockout of sd-shell protons.
