Abstract: High-spin states of the <superscript>44</superscript>Sc nucleus, populated in the 68 MeV <superscript>18</superscript>O + <superscript>30</superscript>Si reaction, have been studied in a γ-γ-recoil coincidence experiment. The detailed decay pattern, with various paths and cross-transitions, has been extended up to 9.1 MeV. High-quality DCO and polarization information assign spins and parities for the majority of the observed levels. The negative-parity states are discussed and compared with rotational bands in neighbouring f<subscript>7/2</subscript>-shell nuclei. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
