The positron decay of Ti 42 has been investigated using the Ca 40 (h, n) reaction with a natural calcium target. A strong 610.7±0.5-keV γ ray with a half-life T 1 2= 0.202±0.005 sec is attributed to a positron branch to the 611-keV level of Sc 42. A weak 2222±2-keV γ ray has been observed, which corresponds to a positron branch to the 2223-keV level of Sc 42. Using this measured half-life and the β-decay energies, the branching ratios are calculated from β-decay systematics to be r β 0+=(44.1±1. 2)%, r β 1+=(55.2±1. 2)%, and r β 9+=(0.7±0. 3)%. The log ft values 3.179±0.015 and 4.36− 0.24+ 0.16 establish J π= 1+ for both the 611-and the 2223-keV states of Sc 42. The positron decay of Ca 38 has been investigated using the Ar 36 (h, n) reaction. The half-life 0.439±0.012 sec has been measured for this decay. In addition to the strong Gamow-Teller transition feeding the 1695-keV level of K 38, a weak 3210±2-keV γ-ray line has been observed which is tentatively attributed to a transition from the 3337-keV level in K 38 fed by a (0.6±0.2)% β+ branch of Ca 38. Its log ft (3.90− 0.13+ 0.10) then establishes the J π= 1+ assignment for this state.
