Abstract
The role of proton shell effects in the structure of the isotones Cl and S has been studied via one-proton knockout from Cl. We compare measured -ray intensities, inclusive and partial knockout cross sections, and the inclusive momentum distribution of outgoing S particles with shell-model and reaction-theory predictions. The strong population in this reaction of the recently identified state in S, identified through its subsequent -ray decay energy, makes a compelling case for a ground state in Cl.
