The structure of the N=20 nucleus {sup 37}Cl has been investigated in the {sup 24}Mg({sup 16}O,3p) reaction with a 70 MeV {sup 16}O beam. A complex level scheme extended up to an excitation energy of 17 MeV and spins (29/2{sup +}) and (27/2{sup -}) on positive and negative parity, respectively, has been established. Lifetimes for the new states have been investigated by the Doppler shift attenuation method. Large-scale shell-model calculations have been performed in a valence space involving orbitals in the sd and fp shells using the sdfp and SDPF-M effective interactions. The comparison with the experimental data indicates the need for slight changes of the sd-fp energy gaps produced by these interactions.
