Abstract

Detailed structure information on 133Sb has been obtained in a high-sensitivity study of the 133Sn decay. The d3/2 single proton state was found at 2439.5 keV. The γ-ray branching gives B(M1;d3/2d5/2)/B(E2;d3/2g7/2)=0.037(3) in W.u. For the h11/2 state, a half-life of 11.4(4.5) ps was measured for the first time, giving B(M2;h11/2g7/2)=0.5522W.u. and B(E3;h11/2d5/2)=2213W.u. The single proton transition strengths in 133Sb and 209Bi are found to be remarkably similar. In contrast, the spin-orbit splitting in these nuclei show important differences.
