General Comments:

Mass measurement: 2016Ka15 (mass excess=-7034.7 keV 34), 1977Be13 (-7070 keV 50)

Other measurements:

1982Ay01: 31Cl from 32S(p,2n) E=33 MeV, Oslo cyclotron, ZnS target. Measured β-delayed proton spectra, γ-ray spectra.

2006Ka11: 31Cl from 32S(p,2n) E=40,45 MeV, IGISOL, ZnS target. Measured delayed proton energies E(p), Eγ, I(p), Iγ and pγ coin

2011Fu11: 31Cl from 9Be(36Ar,X) E=82 MeV/nucleon at RIBLL-HIRFL and incident on a carbon target. Measured longitudinal fragment momentum distribution of 30S after one-proton removal from 31Cl.

2011SaZM: 31Cl produced in 32S(p,2n) E=40 MeV/nucleon reaction and separated using MARS recoil spectrometer at Texas A&M University accelerator facility. Measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ, Ep, Ip, half-life

2016Ka15: mass excess of 31Cl, produced in 32S(p,2n), E=40 MeV, measured using JYFLTRAP double-Penning-trap mass spectrometer at the IGISOL facility. Analysis of IMME for t=3/2 quartet in α=31 nuclides.

Measured mass excess=-7034.7 keV 34 (2016Ka15). From this value, authors deduce S(p)(31Cl)=264.6 keV 34 (value in 2021Wa16: AME-2020 is 264 keV 3). The new value of S(p) combined with the β-delayed proton decay data for 31Ar is used by 2016Ka15 to obtain revised values of level energies and proton resonances of 31Cl. Authors analyze quadratic form of the isobaric multiplet mass equation (IMME) for t=3/2 quartet at α=31 (31Cl, 31S, 31P and 31Si), and find that the quadratic form of the IMME breaks down giving reduced χ2=11.6, while a cubic equation fits with a non-zero cubic term d=-3.5 keV 11 or -4.3 keV {11 if energy of the IAS state in 31S is used as 6279.0 keV 6 from 2016Be05. This value of IAS gives reduced χ2 of 16.2 for a quadratic fit. The two lowest levels in 31Cl are relevant to radiative resonant proton captures in the rp process.

2018Be12, 2016Be05, 2016Be19: 31Cl from 9Be(36Ar,X) E=150 MeV/nucleon at NSCL. Measured Eγ, Iγ, βγ-coin. IMME analysis.
