Abstract
Understanding the properties of nuclei near the double magic nucleus 40Ca is crucial for both nuclear theory and experiments. In this study, Ca isotopes were investigated using an extended pairing-plus-quadrupole model with monopole corrections. The negative-parity states of 44Ca were coupled with the intruder orbital \(g_{9/2}\) at 4 MeV. The values of \(E_{4+}\)/\(E_{2+}\) agree well with experimental trend from 42Ca to 50Ca, considering monopole effects between \(\nu f_{7/2}\) and \(\nu p_{3/2}\)(\(\nu f_{5/2}\)). This monopole effect, determined from data of 48Ca and 50Ca, supports the proposed new nuclear magic number \(N = 34\) by predicting a high-energy \(2^{+}\) state in 54Ca.
