Protons have been observed from the bombardment of titanium by Th C' alpha-particles. They are probably due to the reaction Ti⁴⁸+He⁴{→}V⁵¹+H¹. Three groups of protons are found corresponding to nuclear energy change [Q] values of + 1.10, 0.00 and -3.63 Mev. The separation of the last two groups is abnormally great. Combined with Dempster's value for the mass of Ti⁴⁸, the results lead to a mass of 50.9598 for V⁵¹.
