Abstract
Excited states of the N=32 nucleus 54Ti have been studied, via both inverse-kinematics proton scattering and one-neutron knockout from 55Ti by a liquid hydrogen target, using the GRETINA γ-ray tracking array. Inelastic proton-scattering cross sections and deformation lengths have been determined. A low-lying octupole state has been tentatively identified in 54Ti for the first time. A comparison of (p,p′) results on low-energy octupole states in the neutron-rich Ca and Ti isotopes with the results of random phase approximation calculations demonstrates that the observed systematic behavior of these states is unexpected.
