Abstract

Yrast and near-yrast energy levels in the neutron-rich N ∼ 20 nuclei 34P, 36S were populated using transfer/deep-inelastic processes following the 34S + 115In reaction at an incident energy of 140MeV. The use of a multi-clover array has facilitated polarization measurements of the observed γ-rays and necessitated some changes in the previously known level scheme. The observation of the negative-parity levels in these nuclei on the periphery of the “island of inversion” is indicative of the influence of the intruder orbitals on the level structure at low spins. Shell-model calculations indicate that the inclusion of the orbitals from the upper pf shell is important even for the low-lying positive-parity states.
