Abstract
Doubly magic nuclei have a simple structure and are the cornerstones for entire regions of the nuclear chart. Theoretical insights into the supposedly doubly magic and its neighbors are challenging because of the extreme neutron-to-proton ratio and the proximity of the continuum. We predict the state in from a correlation with the state in using chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions. Our results confirm that is doubly magic, and the predicted low-lying states of open the way for shell-model studies of many more rare isotopes.
