Abstract
The recent assertion that shape coexistence occurs in the neutron-rich isotope S43 implies that a state observed at 940 keV in a previous study is a rotational excitation of the deformed ground state. Here we use results from two intermediate-energy reactions to demonstrate that this state-assigned an energy of 971 keV in the present work-is indeed a rotational state. This result strengthens the case for shape coexistence in S43.
