Abstract
High-resolution Ge(Li) detectors have been used to observe -ray singles and coincidence spectra of 2.2-h ( ground state). Sources of mixed tin isotopes were produced by thermal-neutron fission of enriched and were chemically separated by solvent extraction and sulfide precipitation. A total of 162 rays are attributed to the decay of , and 154 of these transitions have been placed in a level scheme involving 50 excited states. The feeding from to the ground state was determined to be (22 ± 8)% (). Spin and parity assignments for levels have been made in many instances. An 11 ± 1-μsec isomeric level in at 1920 keV has been identified. The level structure of is interpreted in terms of the shell model and core-excitation considerations.
