Abstract
The evidence on single proton energies in the Si isotopes is traced from to using available experimental data on binding energies, single proton transfer reactions, radioactive decay, and direct reaction studies with neutron-rich exotic beams. In addition to demonstrating the value of having information on single particle energies over a long sequence of isotopes, the data point out a significant discrepancy between theoretical and experimental results on the size of the subshell closure in , which is located on the boundary of the island of inversion.
