Angular correlations and cross sections for the 40Ca(e,e'n)39Ca reaction have been measured in the continuum above the giant resonance. A comparison of the missing energy spectra between the peak and the tail regions of the giant resonance indicates that neutron emission in the peak region leads to populating the ground and first excited states, whereas emission in the tail region leads to populating excited states at an energy about 4.5 MeV higher. The latter seems to be because of the 2s1/2 and 1d5/2 hole excitation, that is core excitation. The same tendency was observed in the 28Si(e,e'n)27Si reaction of the sd shell nuclei but it did not appear as clearly in the 12C(e,e'n)11C reaction of the 1p shell nuclei.
