Abstract
The resonant proton capture reaction Cr-52(p,gamma)Mn-53 has been observed in the proton energy range 1.66 to 2.91 MeV (8.19 < E(x) < 9.42 MeV), with a resolution of 2.5 keV FWHM. Altogether 192 resonance peaks were found, many of which were multiplets. Gamma-ray spectra and angular distributions were used to fix or limit spins for 82 of the resonances, among which are analogs of four Cr-53 states from 1.29 to 2.32 MeV.
