The first results from CLARION2-TRINITY, a new charged-particle and HPGe array are presented: Coulomb excitation of Ti. Ti-49 can be treated as a neutron hole plus semimagic Ti core within the particle-core coupling scheme. Reduced electric quadrupole transition probabilities, or strengths, for the multiplet members and candidate state were measured. The total electric quadrupole strength of Ti is compared to the of the Ti core in search of enhanced quadrupole collectivity, similar to that recently observed in Sb relative to a Sn core [1]. Both cases are near double-magic nuclei and have small core values. The results are compared to shell-model calculations with state-of-the art nucleon-nucleon interactions. Any enhancement is in stark contrast to the expectations of the successful particle-core coupling scheme and it is thought to arise when the long-range part of the proton-neutron (PN) residual interaction rapidly develops compared to the short-range pairing interaction (PP or NN). Enhanced electric quadrupole strength is an early signal of the emerging nuclear collectivity that becomes dominant away from the shell closure.
