Exploring light neutron-rich nuclei: First observation of oxygen-28

The neutron-rich oxygen isotopes oxygen-27 and oxygen-28 exist as very short-lived resonances, report scientists based on the first observation of their decay into oxygen-24 and three and four neutrons, respectively. Notably, the oxygen-28 nucleus is found not to be 'doubly magic' as expected in the standard shell-model picture. This study provides valuable insights into the nuclear structure.
