Abstract
Gamma rays in the decay of the 3.2 s (1+) and 44 s (4, 5+)120In isomers and the 15.9 min (1+) and 5.8 d (8−)120Sb isomers have been investigated using Ge(Li) spectrometers and prompt and delayed Ge(Li)-NaI(Tl) coincidence techniques. The constructed level scheme of120Sn contains 18 levels at the following energies (keV): 0 (0+), 1171.6 (2+), 1875.6 (0+), 2096.9 (1, 2, 3), 2160.7 (0+), 2195.0 (4+), 2284.8 (5−), 2355.6 (2+), 2421.2 (1, 2, 3), 2466.3 (4+), 2482.1 (7−), 2643.5 (4+), 3058.6 (4+), 3179.7 (4+), 3349.9 (3, 4+), 3440 (3, 4+), 3447.6 (5, 6+) and 3777 (4+). The levels are compared with the levels obtained from recent charged-particle reaction studies and the structure of120Sn is briefly discussed in view of the latest quasiparticle calculations.
