The reaction 45 21Sc(d, p)46 21Sc has a Q-value of 6.54 MeV and a resonance when the incident deuteron laboratory kinetic energy is 2.76 MeV. Would you expect the same resonance to be excited in the reaction 43 20Ca(α, n)46 22Ti and if so at what value of the laboratory kinetic energy of the alpha particle? You may use the fact that the β decay 46 21Sc→46 22Ti + e− + ¯νe has a Q-value of 2.37 MeV and the mass difference between the neutron and a hydrogen atom is 0.78 MeV/c2.
