Other reactions:

40Ca(γ,π-): 1985To14, 1982To10: E=400 MeV. Measured σ, deduced pion production. 1973Gr21: E=340 MeV. Measured σ.

40Ca(π+,π): 1987Bo43, 1986Ir02, 1986Er09, 1984Er03, 1984Bo51, 1983Ba13, 1982Ba50: E=120, 165, 230 MeV. Measured σ(θ)

40Ca(π+,π+π-): 2001Ca53, 2000Bo38, 2000Gr28, 1999Bo25, 1997Bo15, 1996Bo09: E=283 MeV, measured pion invariant mass spectra

40Ca(6Li,6He): 1974Ga11: E=38 MeV. Upper limits on cross sections estimated for excitation energy up to 1700 as: <2.5 μb for 10|’ <0.4 μb for 30|’. No peaks were observed in 6He spectra

40Ca(6Li,6He): 1980GuZW: E=92 MeV. Measured σ, deduced t=1 magnetic giant resonance. Details of this study are not available

Delayed 2-proton radioactivity of 42Cr to levels in 40Sc is possible but none has been detected by 2001Gi01. An unexplained proton group at 2490 30 from 42Cr decay could be an L=0 2-proton transition from IAS to first excited 0+ state in 40Sc, but no γ rays were observed

In (12C,12B), 1988Vo06 identify population of 1+ states in 4.9-5.0 MeV region at low angles; a 6- state near 6 MeV at larger angles; and strong low-lying states of unnatural parity characterized by L=1, L=3 and L=5 transitions giving rise to 2-, 4- and 6- states, respectively. Population of a spin-flip dipole resonance (Jπ=0-,1-,2-) is suggested by strong enhancement of cross section in the 7-15 MeV range

All levels populated in 40Ti ε decay are proton unbound

Q-value: S(2n)=32120 200 (syst), S(2p)=6300.5 28, Q(εp)=5994.9 28 (2012Wa38)

E(level): From (3He,t) for levels up to E=1933 keV and from 40Ti ε decay, unless otherwise noted.

Jπ(level): 1+ assignments for levels above E=1933 keV are from 40Ti ε decay based on log ft<5.2 from 0+; assignments for levels up to E=1933 keV are from DWBA analysis of σ(θ) in (3He,t) if applicable, unless otherwise noted.
