New Evidence for an N = 32 Subshell

Based on self-consistent energy density calculations, Tondeur [1] proposed N = 32 as a new magic number for neutron-rich nuclides. Following the beta decay of 52K, Huck et al. [2] assigned the 2.56 MeV state in 52 20Ca32 a spin and parity of 2+. As compared to the first excited 2+ level in 50Ca, an increase in E(21 ) was observed. Huck et al. [2] suggested the rise at N = 32 was due to the ν2p3...

New evidence for a subshell gap at N = 32

An 879.9(2) keV γ -ray transition has been identified following the β decay of 58V and assigned as the 21 → 01 transition in Cr34. A peak in the energies of the first excited 2 + states for the even–even chromium isotopes is now evident at Cr32, providing empirical evidence for a significant subshell gap at N = 32. The appearance of this neutron subshell closure for neutron-rich nuclides may be...
