Abstract

The $N = 21$ nucleus $^{34} Al,$ located at the boundary of the island of inversion, was studied via intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation. A $γ$ ray with an energy of $657 \pm 9 keV$ has been observed in $^{34} Al$ and its production cross section has been measured. This $γ$ ray may connect states which are members of the low-lying neutron $d_{5 / 2} {- f}_{7 / 2}$ multiplet.
