Three-body (3N) forces have been shown to be essential to the description of light nuclei. Recently, Shell Model calculations based on chiral EFT interactions have also been applied to explain features (the oxygen dripline, the magic number N=28) that couldn’t be explained by microscopic NN-only interactions. I will present new results that follow this framework, regarding the ground and excited states of neutron rich calcium isotopes. In particular, I will focus on the importance of including 3N forces in binding energies, pairing gaps and spectroscopic factors. These can be related to the existence (or not) of non-standard magic numbers N=32, 34 or 40.
