Measurements of de-excitation {gamma} rays in coincidence with target-like residues produced in deep inelastic transfer reactions of {sup 238}U on a {sup 48}Ca target at an energy near the Coulomb barrier are presented. A systematic analysis, within a shell model approach, of the measured low-lying states in the odd and even neutron-rich Ca isotopes points toward a possible absence of a predicted shell closure at N=34.
