  In an effort to understand the magical status of N=32 and N=34 at the very
neutron rich edge, experiments have been carried out in the Titanium isotopes
up to A=56. The measured staggering of the B(E2)'s is not reproduced by the
shell model calculations using the best effective interactions. We argue that
this may be related to the choice of the isovector effective charge and to the
value of the N=34 neutron gap.
