Experimental evidence for the particle stability of 34Ne and 37Na

The neutron drip line in a neon–magnesium region has been explored by the projectile fragmentation of a 59.8 A MeV 48Ca beam using the new fragment separator LISE 2000 at GANIL. New neutron-rich isotopes, 34Ne and 37Na, have been observed together with some evidence for the particle instability of 33Ne and 36Na.
