Energy distribution of the E1-transition strengths in the 46Ti nucleus

The structure of levels of the 46Ti nucleus is studied by means of the nonselective reaction 45Sc(p, γ) at proton energies ranging between 1.2 and 3.1 MeV. Spin-parity assignments for 46Ti states of excitation energies up to 5.5 MeV are obtained by using the method of averaged resonances. Radiative strength functions for E1 transitions populating these states are determined. The resulting data are compared with predictions of various models.
