A high resolution measurement of the cross sections of the {sup 44}Ca(p,p{sub 0}) and {sup 44}Ca(p,p{sub 1}) reactions was performed over the energy range E{sub p}=2.50-3.53 MeV. A total of 809 resonances were observed. The purity and completeness of the {sup 45}Sc data were tested with a variety of statistical analyses. These analyses suggest that the 1/2{sup +} and 1/2{sup -} resonance sequences are the most pure and complete ever measured. The resulting level densities are {rho}(1/2){sup +}=127{sub -8}{sup +7} MeV{sup -1} and {rho}(1/2{sup -})=132{sub -9}{sup +8} MeV{sup -1}; there is no evidence of parity dependence of the level density of J=1/2 states at E{sub x}=10 MeV in {sup 45}Sc.
