TL;DR: New shell model calculations indicate that (42)Si is best described as a well-deformed oblate rotor, which provides evidence for the disappearance of the Z=14 and N=28 spherical shell closures.

W. N. Catford,C. N. Timis,Roy Crawford Lemmon,M. Labiche,N. A. Orr,N. A. Orr,B. Fernández-Domínguez,Robert Chapman,M. Freer,Marielle Chartier,H. Savajols,M. Rejmund,N.L. Achouri,N.L. Achouri,N. Amzal,N. I. Ashwood,T. D. Baldwin,M. Burns,Luis Caballero,J.M. Casadjian,N. Curtis,W. Gelletly,X. Liang,S.D. Pain,V. P. E. Pucknell,B. Rubio,O. Sorlin,K. M. Spohr,Ch. Theisen,D. D. Warner +29 more
TL;DR: In this article, a reaccelerated radioactive beam of 24Ne was used to study the (d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics and the unusual raising of the first 3/2+ level in 25Ne and its significance in terms of the migration of the neutron magic number from N=20 to N=16 is put on a firm footing by confirmation of this state's identity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the excited states of the binary fragments detected using CLARA, an array of 25 Ge Clover detectors, were measured in coincidence with projectile-like fragments detected by PRISMA, a large solid angle magnetic spectrometer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a 560 MeV 16C beam inelastically excited on a 12C target to search for a proposed α:2n:α:α 2n:2 n:α molecular structure in 16C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the even-A isotopes of sulfur is interpreted in terms of the configurations of valence protons and neutrons within the context of large-scale 0(Planck constant/2pi)omega sd-pf shell-model calculations.
