ALPHA-CLUSTER STATES ABOVE THE THRESHOLD ENERGY IN TI-44

The angular distributions of the cross sections of reactions to levels up to E(X)=11 MeV in Ti-44 were measured for the reaction Ca-40(Li-6, d) at E=37 MeV. These angular distributions for the unbound states, pa rticularly the well populated 7.67(10(+)), 8.04(12(+)), 8.54, 8.96, 9. 58, and 10.86 MeV states, were analyzed together with the data at E=50 MeV using alpha-particle wave functions calculated at the resonance e nergies using the squared Woods-Saxon potentials. The strongly excited state at E(X)=10.86 MeV, whose spin parity was not identified from th e data at 50 MeV, was found to be a candidate for the bandhead state o f the higher nodal K-pi=0(+) band with principal quantum number N=14.
