Abstract
We have surveyed the neutron separation energies (Sn) and the interaction cross sections (\ensuremathσI) for the neutron-rich p\ensuremath-sd and the sd shell region. Very recently, both measurements reached up to the neutron drip line, or close to the drip line, for nuclei of Z\ensuremath≤8. A neutron-number dependence of Sn shows clear breaks at N\phantom\rule0ex0ex=\phantom\rule0ex0ex16 near the neutron drip line (TZ\ensuremath≥3), which shows the creation of a new magic number. A neutron-number dependence of \ensuremathσI shows a large increase of \ensuremathσI for N\phantom\rule0ex0ex=\phantom\rule0ex0ex15, which supports the new magic number. The origin of the new magic number is also discussed.
