Scientific paper

The neutron-rich isotopes 53-55Sc and 56-59V have been produced at GANIL in interactions of a 64.5 MeV/u 65Cu beam with a 9Be target. They were separated by the doubly achromatic spectrometer LISE3. Beta-decay half-lives and subsequent low-energy γ-rays were observed for the first time. The present results are compared to QRPA model predictions. The quick drop of the half-life observed at N=33 for 5320Ca33 is weaker for 5623V33 and absent for 2154Sc33, indicating a vanishing of the N=32 subshell north to 52Ca32. In an astrophysical context, these neutron-rich isotopes represent r-process progenitors which, after β-decay, would produce the correlated isotopic over-abundances of 54Cr, 58Fe, 64Ni in certain refractory inclusions of meteorites.
