Abstract
The energies of the excited states in very neutron-rich 42Si and 41,43P have been measured using in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy from the fragmentation of secondary beams of 42,44S at 39A MeV. The low 2+ energy of 42Si, 770(19) keV, together with the level schemes of 41,43P, provides evidence for the disappearance of the Z=14 and N=28 spherical shell closures, which is ascribed mainly to the action of proton-neutron tensor forces. New shell model calculations indicate that 42Si is best described as a well-deformed oblate rotor.
