9 Calcium anomaly as shell effects close to drip line The measured cross sections were best reproduced by using masses derived from the full pf shell-model space with the GXPF1B5 [1] effective interaction modified to a recent 54 Ca E x ( 2+ 1 ) measurement [2]. The Calcium anomaly can be explained with a shell model that predicts a subshell closure at N = 34 around Z = 20. [1] M. Honma, T. Otsuka, B. A. Brown, and T. Mizusaki, Eur. Phys. J.

32 dbe systematics for the 2014 data Straight lines should describe well experimental data if: 1. No significant secondary reactions contributions These deviations are probably due to secondary reactions. We can estimate secondary reaction coefficients 2. Mass model describes well experimental masses This point ( 40 Mg) indicates probable binding overestimation: should shifted to left OT@ISPUN.VN 9/25-30/

33 Summary of 2017 experimental results We have determined the neutron dripline of F and Ne isotopes to be 31 F and 36 Ne by the nonobservation of 32,33 F and 35,36 Ne isotopes and established the neutron dripline up to Ne (Z=10) for the first time in 20 years. We have observed the 39 Na isotope with a 48 Ca beam and concluded that it is bound, whereas 38 Na is unbound. We have observed 9 new isotopes ( 47 P, 49 S, 52 Cl, 54 Ar, 57 K, 59 K, 59 Ca, 60 Ca, 62 Sc) with a 70 Zn beam. Production cross sections, momentum distributions, secondary reaction contribution runs were performed. Data are under analysis. Gammas corresponding to the 55 Ca isomeric state in microsecond region have been registered. 47 P 49 S 52 Cl 54 Ar 59 Ca 60 Ca 57 K 59 K 62 Sc OT@ISPUN.VN 9/25-30/
