The structure of the neutron-rich ([ital T][sub [ital z]]=3) nucleus [sup 40]Cl is investigated by measuring [alpha]-[ital p]-[gamma]-[gamma] and [alpha]-[ital p]-[ital n]-[gamma]-[gamma] coincidences using the heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reaction [sup 9]Be([sup 32][ital S],[alpha][ital p])[sup 40]Cl. A total of 18 in-beam transitions in [sup 40]Cl are identified and a level scheme is constructed up to spin (8[sup [minus]]) and 4.087 MeV excitation energy. The experimental results are discussed in the context of previous work and compared to shell-model predictions. Excitation energies of the negative parity yrast states and relative electromagnetic transition strengths obtained from calculations based on the full (2[ital s],1[ital d])[sup 21](1[ital f]2[ital p])[sup 3] configuration space are in good agreement with the experimental results.
