[en] Excitation energies, spins and lifetimes have been measured in ⁴⁹V employing the reaction ⁴⁶Ti(α,pγ)⁴⁹V at a bombarding energy of 10.6 MeV. Reaction-produced protons were detected in an annular Si counter at an average angle of 171⁰. Coincident γ-ray spectra were measured with a Ge)Li) detector at angles 120⁰ greater than or equal to theta greater than or equal to 0. Two Ge(Li) detectors were used in a γ-γ coincidence exxperiment. The half-life of the 90.7 keV excited state T/sub ¹/₂/ = 0.45 (3) ns was measured by time-delayed n-γ coincidences employing the reaction ⁴⁹Ti(p,nγ)⁴⁹V at a proton bombarding energy of 2.1 MeV. γ-ray branching ratios and multipole mixing ratios were also obtained from the data, and reduced electromagnetic transition matrix elements have been extracted for a number of observed transitions. The positive-parity states of ⁴⁹V were organized into two rotational bands with K/sup π/ = 1/2⁺ and K/sup π/ = 3/2⁺. Calculations have been performed for negative-parity states based on the strong-coupling model of Bohr and Mottelson with correctly treated phases in particle-hole excitations and the (Σ/sub i/j/sub i/)² term in the Hamilitonian. The results are compared with experiment. (U.S.)
