The new mass excesses of ^52-54Sc nuclides are determined to be -40492（82）, -38928（114）, -34654（540） keV, which show a significant increase of binding energy compared to the reported ones in the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2012 （AME12）. In particular, ^53Sc and ^54sc are more bound by 0.8 MeV and 1.0 MeV, respectively. The behavior of the two neutron separation energy with neutron numbers indicates a strong sub-shell closure at neutron number N=32 in Sc isotopes.展开更多

Isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS), using astorage ring combined with an in-flight separator, has been shown to be a powerful tool for mass measurementof exotic nuclei[1]. Recently, masses of many proton-rich nuclides were accurately determined at the HIRFL-CSRfacility[2]. In this paper, we described the first isochronous mass measurement of neutron-rich nuclides at CSRe.This experiment was performed at the end of 2011. In the experiment, the primary beam of 86Kr28+ ions wasaccumulated and accelerated to an energy of 460.65 MeV/u in the synchrotron CSRm. The 86Kr28+ ions were fastextracted and focused on a 15 mm thick beryllium target which was placed at the entrance of the RIBLL2 (anin-flight fragment separator).展开更多

Since the isochronous condition =t greatly reducesthe influence of the velocity difference on the ion revolution periods, the revolution period difference ΔT =T ??TRof a stored ion with respect to a reference time TR is directly related to its mass-to-charge ratio difference Δ(m=q),written in the first order as:展开更多
