Abstract:
{The g factor of the first excited 21+ state in 46Ca has been remeasured with better accuracy than previously obtained, g(21+, 46Ca) = -0.26(6). 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
