The spins and electromagnetic properties of levels in45Sc up to 2,352 keV were studied by means of inelastic proton scattering using a 3-parameter coincidence arrangement and Coulomb excitation with3He and4He beams. Relevant experimental results are discussed in terms of the Thankappen-True core-plus-particle model.

The spins and electromagnetic properties of levels up to 3,700 keV in51V were studied by means of inelastic proton scattering. Results are discussed with reference to the many-particle shell model using effective surface delta and realistic Kuo-Brown interactions.

Levels up to 3,016 keV in59Co were studied using the59Co (p, p'y) and56Fe (a, py) reactions. Level energies, branching ratios, mean lifetimes and spins were obtained for a number of levels.

Properties of levels up to 5 MeV excitation in37Cl were studied with37Cl(p, p' ?)37Cl,37Cl(a, a' ?)37Cl and34S(a, p?)37Cl reactions. Results are discussed with reference to the many-particle shell model with an effective surface delta interaction.

The spins and electromagnetic properties of low-lying levels in39K with excitation energy ?4.127 MeV were studied with the39K(p, p'?)39K and the36Ar(a, p?)39K reactions. Experimental results are discussed in terms of shell model calculations with a modified effective surface delta interaction.

The lifetime of the fourth excited state of45Sc, at an energy of 720 keV, was determined in a nuclear resonant scattering experiment. Gamma rays of the desired energy for the excitation of this level were obtained by Compton scattering of the 1173 and 1332 keV photons from a 4300 Ci radioactive60Co source. A value of (5.6±1.2) meV was found for the radiation width of the level, assuming a value of 5/2 for its spin. The corresponding mean lifetime is (0.12-0.02+0.04) ps. An attempt was made to determine the spin of the level by means of angular distribution measurements.
