Sn-104 is the lightest isotope in the Sn chain for which this quantity has been measured. The result is a key point in the discussion of the evolution of nuclear structure in the proximity of the doubly magic nucleus Sn-100. The value B(E2; 0(+) -> 2(+)) = 0.10(4) e(2)b(2) is significantly lower than earlier results for Sn-106 and heavier isotopes. The result is well reproduced by shell model predictions and therefore indicates a robust N = Z = 50 shell closure.", optnote="WOS:000317915200008", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1423), last updated on Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:56:01 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.172501", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.172501", language="English" }
