Abstract

The β- and γ-ray spectra have been studied resulting from the bombardment of 24Mg, 28Si and 32S with continuous and chopped beams of 16O ions in the energy-range of 22-33 MeV. Compound-nucleus formation is found to predominate in the reactions. Protonrich nuclei are observed via the (16O, 2n) reaction in each case. In particular the mass excess of the previously unobserved nucleus 46Cr is found to be -29.46 ± 0.03 MeV; its half-life is 0.26 ±0.06 s. The systematics of the Coulomb displacement energies of the mass triplets up to A = 46 are discussed.
