Abstract

The reactions ${}^{40}{Ca} ({}^{12}C, t) {}^{49}{Mn}$ and ${}^{40}{Ca}$ ( ${}^{12}C$ , ${}^{3}{He}$ ) ${}^{49}{Cr}$ have been observed with ground-state cross sections of the order of 1 μb/sr. The results for ${}^{49}{Mn}$ are consistent with its predicted mass excess of -37.72 ± 0.08 MeV.
