Abstract

The energies and B(E2;0⁺_g.s. → 2⁺₁ values for the lowest J^π = 2⁺ states in the neutron-rich radioactive nuclei ^38,40,42S and ^44,46Ar were measured via intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation. The results for ^40,42S provide the first evidence of moderate deformation near N = 28, while the effects of the N = 28 shell closure persist in the Z = 18 nucleus ⁴⁶Ar.
