We report on a nuclear resonance fluorescence experiment on the semi-magic odd-mass fp-shell nucleus 51V. The
detected dipole strength distribution is discussed on the basis of modern shell-model calculations employing a
model space allowing for excitations of protons and neutrons from the 1f7/2 to the (2p1/2,2p3/2,1f5/2) shells. The
calculations indicate that the main body of transitions is of magnetic dipole type, and they are capable of
reproducing the observed distribution well. Possible electric dipole and quadrupole contributions are also
discussed.
