Excitation functions were measured for the ${}_{}{}^{49,50}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$(n,p${)}^{49,50}$Sc reactions from threshold to 10.5 MeV. Use was made of the activation technique in combination with high-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy and anticoincidence ${\mathrm{\beta }}^{\mathrm{-}}$ counting. Nuclear model calculations using a computer code were performed for (n,p) reactions on ${}_{}{}^{46,47,48,49,50}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$. The experimental excitation functions are reproduced well by the calculation involving a fixed set of global parameters and only one variable parameter (‘‘pairing shift’’) to take account of the odd-even and nuclear structure effects in the target nuclei.
