Excited states of 1738Cl21 were populated in grazing reactions during the interaction of a beam of 1636S20 ions of energy 215 MeV with a 82208Pb126 target. The combination of the PRISMA magnetic spectrometer and the CLARA γ-ray detector array was used to identify the reaction fragments and to detect their decay via γ-ray emission. A level scheme for 38Cl is presented with tentative spin and parity assignments. The level scheme is discussed within the context of the systematics of neighboring nuclei and is compared with the results of state-of-the-art shell model calculations.
