Cross sections were measured for the {sup 44}Ca(n,{alpha}){sup 41}Ar, {sup 45}Sc(n,{alpha}){sup 42}K, and {sup 51}V(n,{alpha}){sup 48}Sc reactions at neutron energies from 13.6 to 14.9 MeV. The neutrons were produced via the {sup 3}H(d,n){sup 4}He reaction on a neutron generator using a solid TiT target. The activation technique was used, and induced gamma activities were measured by a high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer. Corrections were made for the effects of gamma-ray attenuation, random coincidence (pulse pileup), coincidence summing, dead time, neutron flux fluctuations, and low-energy neutrons. Statistical model calculations taking into account pre-compound effects were performed for all the reactions investigated, and the experimental results were reproduced well except for the (n,{alpha}) reaction on the {sup 45}Sc target. Also, comparisons with the recent experimental data showed good agreement.
