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

However, the corresponding method for data analysis has never been discussed in detail. Recently, two TOF detectors have been installed at CSRe and the new working mode of the ring is under test. In this paper, a data analysis method for this mode is introduced and tested with a series of simulations. The results show that the new IMS method can significantly improve mass resolving power via the additional velocity information of stored ions. This improvement is especially important for nuclides with Lorentz factor γ-value far away from the transition point yt of the storage ring CSRe.展开更多
