Production of isomeric44V and42Sc in high energy heavy ion reactions
Beta-coincidentγ-rays were measured from implanted44V and42Sc nuclei. These were selected after58Ni+nickel reactions by means of the LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL. The production of the isomeric states was identified by detecting their typicalβ-delayedγ-ray cascades. From the intensities of the detectedγ-lines the ratio between isomer and ground-state production of44V follows to be 1 to 3.0(4).
