Properties of the possible l-s closed shell nucleus 2060Ca40, which is expected to be spherical in the ground state, are studied, using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculation plus the random-phase approximation with Skyrme interactions. The possible disappearance of the magic number N=50 is suggested in nuclei near the neutron drip line. In particular, the low-lying octupole threshold strength, which may be strongly collective due to the disappearance of the N=50 magic number, is pointed out.
