Study of light nuclei with neutron excess in s-d or f-p shells: decay of $^{41-43}$Cl, $^{45,47,48,50,51,52}$K, $^{51,52}$Ca and $^{52}$Sc

The decay of neutron rich light nuclei in the region N=28, Z=20, has been investigated at the ISOLDE facility with the 600 MeV proton beam, using a uranium target and different ion sources to select Cl, Ar or K, Ca and Sc isotopes. The subsequent transitions have been studied via delayed gamma , beta and, when necessary, n measurements in single and coincident modes. The paper summarizes the information obtained for the nuclei /sup 41-43/Cl, /sup 45,47,48,50,51,52/K, /sup 51,52/Ca, /sup 52/Sc and presents a survey of some systematic trends in the decay properties of these neutron rich isotopes.
