Title: Unexpected doubly-magic nucleus.

Journal Article · · Nature
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1038/4591069a· OSTI ID:963638

Nuclei with a 'magic' number of both protons and neutrons, dubbed doubly magic, are particularly stable. The oxygen isotope {sup 24}O has been found to be one such nucleus - yet it lies just at the limit of stability.
