In fact, the shell does evolve, ..... due to the tensor force.
Thus, the single-particle orbits may migrate leading to a possible change in shell structure.
Note that the s.p. orbits are characterized by the angular momentum j.

Such an effect can be detected through measurement of electric quadrupole moments Q associated with nuclear spin.

Thus, the spin plays
vital roles in structural change of nuclei

Fragmentation-induced spin polarization
● The kinematical model reproduce quite well the observed behavior of polarization P as a function of momentum and target Z-number.
● However, the observed ‥‥ magnitudes of P are by ~ 1/4 smaller than predicted.

Summary
Fragmentation-induced spin polarization/alignment of RI beams has been developed and used for more than ten years.
This technique is nowadays being used at several radioactive beam facilities in the World, providing a powerful means to study the g.s. nuclear moments in the region far from the stability.
Electromagnetic moments provide useful information in nuclear structure physics.
As a recent work with polarized RI beam, preliminary result for the 33Al Q-moment has been presented.
