title: Probing shell structure and shape changes in neutron-rich sulfur isotopes through transient-field g-factor measurements on fast radioactive beams of 38S and 40S.
abstract: The shell structure underlying shape changes in neutron-rich nuclei near N = 28 has been investigated by a novel application of the transient-field technique to measure the first-excited-state g factors in 38S and 40S produced as fast radioactive beams. There is a fine balance between proton and neutron contributions to the magnetic moments in both nuclei. The g factor of deformed 40S does not resemble that of a conventional collective nucleus because spin contributions are more important than usual.
