Abstract

Results of a photon scattering experiment on 112Sn using bremsstrahlung with an endpoint energy of E0 = 3.8 MeV are reported. A J = 1 state at Ex = 3434(1) keV has been excited. Its decay width into the ground state amounts to Gamma0 = 151(17) meV, making it a candidate for a [2+ x 3-]1- two-phonon state. The results for 112Sn are compared with quasiparticle-phonon model calculations as well as the systematics of the lowest-lying 1- states established in other even-mass tin isotopes. Contrary to findings in the heavier stable even-mass Sn isotopes, no 2+ states between 2 and 3.5 MeV excitation energy have been detected in the present experiment.
