Using the MoNA detector an excited state of 22N unbound with respect to neutron emission was observed in a stripping reaction from a 85 MeV/nucleon 26F beam at the NSCL. The observed decay energy of 650(50) keV places the level, which is interpreted to be the first 3- state, at an excitation energy of 1.93(22) MeV. This new measurement combined with previous determinations of the bound state in 22N indicates a reduction in the N=14 shell gap compared with less neutron-rich isotopes. M. J.
