1. 48 Ti(n, xnyp  ) reaction cross sections using spallation neutrons for E n = 1 to 20 MeV Excitation functions have been measured for the interaction of fast neutrons (up to a neutron energy of 250 MeV) on 48 Ti. The Los Alamos Laboratory spallation neutron source, at the LANSCE/WNR facility, provided a “white” neutron beam. The prompt reaction  rays were measured with the large-scale Compton-suppressed Ge spectrometer GEANIE. Excitation functions were converted to partial gamma-ray cross sections taking into account dead-time correction, target thickness, and the detector efficiency. Partial gamma-ray cross sections for transitions in 47,48 Ti and 48 Sc are presented. D. Dashdorj 1, P.E. Garrett 2, J.A. Becker 2, L.A. Bernstein 2, J.R. Cooper 2, M. Devlin 3, N. Fotiadis 3, G.E.
