Collapse of the N = 28 Shell Closure in S 42 i

The energies of the excited states in very neutron-rich $^{42}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}$ and $^{41,43}\mathrm{P}$ have been measured using in-beam $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy from the fragmentation of secondary beams of $^{42,44}\mathrm{S}$ at $39A\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$. The low ${2}^{+... View More
