 44CA c  1990Me15, 1976Co06: Source of {+44}Sc was prepared by the (|g,n)
 44CA2c  reactions on natural Sc at the Livermore linear accelerator or by the
 44CA3c  (|a,dxn) reaction on natural Ca metal at the Berkeley 88-inch
 44CA4c  cyclotron. |g rays were detected with a Ge(Li) detector. Measured E|g,
 44CA5c  I|g. Deduced levels, branching ratios, log| {Ift}.
 44CA d  I|g in 1990Me15 and 1976Co06 are the same but E|g values are different.
 44CA2d  Value from 1990Me15 are considered to supersede those in 1976Co06
 44CA c  1983Gu11: Ge(Li) detectors. Measured E|g, I|g. Deduced levels, I|b.
 44CA c  1973Si05: Activity of {+44}Sc from a {+44}Ti source deposited on thin
 44CA2c  mylar in a spot of 0.3 cm diameter. A 25 cm{+3} and a 70 cm{+3}
 44CA3c  Ge(Li) detectors for detecting |g-rays. Measured E|g, I|g, |g|g-coin.
 44CA4c  Deduced levels, branching ratios.

 44CA c  The total released energy calculated by RADLIST is 3652.9 {I20}, as

 44CA5cE consistent with values above but less accurate.
