Electromagnetic Properties of ⁴⁵Sc Studied by Low-energy Coulomb Excitation

A Coulomb excitation experiment to study electromagnetic properties of 45Sc was performed at the Heavy Ion Laboratory, University of Warsaw, using a 70 MeV 32S beam. Measured γ-ray intensities together with existing spectroscopic data were used to extract a set of matrix elements between the populated states. Upper limit on B(E3;7∕2−→ 5∕2+) is given.
