[en] A study of the production of a ⁴⁴ Ti target was carried out aiming the determination of its thermal neutron capture cross-section. With this purpose, the cross-section of the reaction ⁴⁵ Sc(p,2 n) ⁴⁴ Ti was determined in the energies 16-, 18-, 20-22- and 45 MeV. The cross-section of the reactions (p,n) ⁴⁵ Ti, (p,pn) ^44m Sc, (p,pn) ^44g Sc and (p,p2n)⁴³ Sc were also measured. The results in the low energy region are in good agreement with a previous work by McGee et al. On the other hand, the cross-section at 45 MeV is different from McGee's result and indicates the existence of an abnormal behavior of the excitation function at higher energies. Furthermore, a radiochemical separation method was developed in order to eliminate Sc from the ⁴⁴ Ti target which was irradiated with neutrons. It was possible to determine an upper limit for the cross-section of the reaction ⁴⁴ Ti (n, γ) of 4 x 10³ b. At last, it is presented a discussion of the results obtained and their possible astrophysical implications. (author)
