The experiment utilized the transient field technique combined with Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics. This result was analyzed in terms of shell model plus deformed core calculations. The positive g factors of the 2 1+ states in Ca and Ca suggest that the 21+ state wave functions require significant particle-hole excitations of the Z = 20}, keywords = {46Ca, Coulomb excitation, g factor, Inverse kinematics, Magnetic moment, Transient field}, issn = {03702693 (ISSN)}, doi = {10.1016/j.physletb.2004.11.021}, author = {Taylor, M.J. and Benczer-Koller, N. and Bernstein, L. and Cooper, J. and Hiles, K. and Judson, D.S. and Kumbartzki, G. and Maier-Komor, P. and McMahan, M.A. and Mertzimekis, T.
