This study explores the spin-orbit potential in N-rich nuclei and its effects on the shell structure. The quenching of spin-orbit coupling in the n-rich region and the discrepancy in the analyzing power measurements are investigated. The study utilizes a newly developed solid polarized proton target for polarization studies of unstable nuclei.
