The new neutron-deficient nuclei Es and Bk were synthesised at the gas-filled recoil separator RITU. They were identified by their radioactive decay chains starting from Es produced in the fusion-evaporation reaction Bi(S,3n)Es. Half-lives of 6(2)s and 22s were obtained for Es and Bk, respectively. Two groups of particles with energies =8.19(3) MeV and 8.09(3) MeV were unambiguously assigned to Es. Electron-capture delayed fission branches with probabilities of 0.16(6) and 0.04(2) were measured for Es and Bk, respectively. These new data show a continuation of the exponential increase of ECDF probabilities in more neutron-deficient isotopes.
