The direct measurement of the lifetime of low-lying excited states in odd-even Sn isotopes provides a new and precise guidance for the theoretical description of the nuclear structure in this region. Lifetime measurements have been performed in Sn-105 for the first time with the coincidence Recoil Distance Doppler Shift technique. The lifetime results for the 7/2(1)(+) first excited state and the 11/2(1)(+) state, 2(+)(Sn-104) circle times nu 1g(7/2) multiplet member, are discussed in comparison with state-of-the-art shell model and mean field calculations, highlighting the crucial contribution of proton excitation across the core of Sn-100. The reduced transition probability B(E2) of the 11/2(1)(+) core-coupled state points out an enhanced staggering with respect to the B(E2; 2(1)(+) -> 0(1)(+)) in the even-mass Sn-104 and Sn-106 isotopes.", optnote="WOS:001084426400001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5725), last updated on Tue, 31 Oct 2023 07:49:21 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2023.138148", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2023.138148", language="English" }
