Abstract
The -unstable nuclei have been produced by projectile fragmentation and studied by in-beam Coulomb excitation. Excited states at keV and keV have been identified for the first time in and , respectively, and tentatively assigned . The values leading to these states and the previously identified states in have been measured, and are compared to shell model calculations. Our results indicate that the state in has a large -shell intruder component, and that the states in the silicon isotopes can be reproduced assuming an shell closure.
