Abstract

The present work reviews the properties of the neutron-rich isotopes near the closed shells N = 20 and N = 28. The changes in nuclear structure appearing as one goes away from the β-stability line are discussed. The location of the neutron drip line and questions about the stability of nuclides with Z ≥ 8 are considered in connection with the weakening or even vanishing of the shell effects at the magic numbers 20 and 28, and the discovery of the new neutron magic numbers at N = 16 and N = 32. These properties are extremely interesting from the point of view of laser experiments as well as for all other experimental methods giving access to this region.
