The N = 28 shell closure has been investigated via the 46Ar(d,p)47Ar transfer reaction in inverse kinematics. Energies and spectroscopic factors of neutron p(3/2), p(1/2), f(5/2) states 47Ar were determined compared to those 49Ca isotone. We deduced a reduction gap by 330(90) keV spin-orbit weakenings approximately 10(2) 45(10)% for f p states, respectively. Such large variations splittings could be accounted proton-neutron tensor force density dependence interaction, This contrasts with...

The 9Be(32Ar, 31Ar)X reaction, leading to the 5/2+ ground state of a nucleus at proton drip line, has cross section 10.4(13) mb beam energy 65.1 MeV/nucleon. This translates into spectroscopic factor that is only 24(3)% predicted by many-body shell-model theory. We introduce refinements eikonal reaction theory used extract clarify this very strong reduction represents an effect nuclear structure. suggest it reflects correlation effects linked high neutron separation (22.0 MeV) for state.

The neutron-rich $N=28$ nucleus $^{44}\mathrm{S}$ was studied using the two-proton knockout reaction from $^{46}\mathrm{Ar}$ at intermediate beam energy. We report observation of four new excited states, one which is a strongly prolate deformed 4${}^{+}$ state, as indicated by shell-model calculation. Its deformation originates in neutron configuration fundamentally different ``intruder'' responsible for ground-state deformation. Consequently, we do not have three coexisting shapes...
