Abstract
Foreman and Magidor showed that the continuum hypothesis implies the existence of a countably-closed -cc forcing notion for adding . Here, we show that may consistently be realized as an -Souslin tree. More generally, we prove that may be added by a -Souslin tree, providing the first analog of the Foreman--Magidor forcing at the level of successors of singular cardinals. Our construction is uniform and extends to inaccessible cardinals as well.
