The Decay of 44mSc and 52V

Gamma rays emitted in the decay of 44m Sc and 52 V have been investigated. From the decay of 44m Sc, five gamma transitions in 44 Ca have been observed. Angular correlations of these gamma rays were consistent with the spin assignments of 2, 4 and 2 to levels in 44 Ca at 1156.9±0.5, 2282.5±0.8 and 2656.4±0.5 keV, respectively. In the decay of 52 V, four gamma rays of 935.6±1.2, 1333.4±0.4, 1433.9±0.6 and 1530.8±0.8 keV have been definitely identified. This fact supports the J π=3+assignment to the ground state of 52 V. The correspondence between levels in 42 Ca, 44 Ca and 52 Cr is discussed.
