Based on self-consistent energy density calculations, Tondeur [1] proposed N = 32 as a new magic number for neutron-rich nuclides. Following the beta decay of 52K, Huck et al. [2] assigned the 2.56 MeV state in 52 20Ca32 a spin and parity of 2+. As compared to the first excited 2+ level in 50Ca, an increase in E(21 ) was observed. Huck et al. [2] suggested the rise at N = 32 was due to the ν2p3...
