title = "Measurement of excited states in Si40 and evidence for weakening of the N=28 shell gap",
abstract = "Excited states in Si40 have been established by detecting I rays coincident with inelastic scattering and nucleon removal reactions on a liquid hydrogen target. The low excitation energy, 986(5)AkeV, of the 21+ state provides evidence of a weakening in the N=28 shell closure in a neutron-rich nucleus devoid of deformation-driving proton collectivity.",
