Beyond 2+ Energies
E(2+) values are a strong indicator of shell structure, but..
Additional evidence for the presence or absence of shell effects is most welcome and very desirable!

E(2+) in 52Ca comes from a1983 ISOLDE -decay study (A.Huck et al., PRC 31, 2226 (1985))where the separation between decay and n-delayed decay wasa problem

Conclusions & Outlook
• Neutron-rich nuclei continue to surprise us! - there is a N=32 shell gap just above 48Ca in Ti (and Cr) confirmed by level structure and B(E2; ) - first indications for the onset of oblate(?) deformation (and the shape driving influence of the g9/2 orbital) seen
in 59,60Cr - 54Ca is an important measurement (N=34 gap)
• Theory needs work - the GXPF1 interaction is not the complete answer - the location of the p1/2 and f5/2 orbitals in n-rich nuclei
above 48Ca needs further study - the g9/2 intruder needs to be included

Approach: -decay spectroscopy of fragments with (A,Z) selections NSCL, ISAC prompt -ray spectroscopy following deep inelastic reactions (thick & thin targets) ATLAS Coulomb excitation NSCL, (HRIBF) fusion-evap. reactions @ radioactive targets ATLAS knockout reactions from fast fragments NSCL
Data obtained with each of these techniques and facilities complement each other!
Where did we go and what did we do
