Extinction of the N=20 neutron-shell closure for 32Mg examined by direct mass measurements

A. Chaudhuri, C. Andreoiu, T. Brunner +12

The 'island of inversion' around Mg is one of the most important paradigm for studying the disappearance of the stabilizing 'magic' of a shell closure. We present the first…
