Abstract

The level densities and radiative strength functions (RSFs) of 50,51V have been extracted using the (3He,αγ) and (3He,3He γ) reactions, respectively. From the level densities, microcanonical entropies are deduced. The high γ-energy part of the RSF is described by the giant electric dipole resonance. A significant enhancement over the predicted strength in the region of Eγ 3 MeV is seen, which at present has no theoretical explanation.
