Is it Possible to Study the 44Ti(α,p)47V Reaction with a Radioactive Target?

The 44Ti(alpha,p)47V reaction is of crucial importance for the destruction of Ti-44 in the alpha-rich freezeout of a supernova. Here I report on a feasibility study. Using radioactive Ti-44 and alpha-emitting sources and sputtering simulations, I study the feasibility and safety of a possible experiment using an alpha-beam from an accelerator and a radioactive Ti-44 target.
