摘要
In this paper, we present direct mass measurements of neutron-rich S6Kr projectile fragments conducted at the HIRFL-CSR facility in Lanzhou by employing the Isochronous Mass Spectrometry （IMS） method. 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.
