Title: Excited 0/sup +/ states and electric monopole transitions in /sup 118/Sn

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Electric monopole transitions of 1758.04 (0/sup +//sub 1/-0/sup +//sub g/), 2056.64 (0/sup +//sub 2/-0/sup +//sub g/), and 298.58 keV (0/sup +//sub 2/-0/sup +//sub 1/) in /sup 118/Sn were observed in the internal conversion electron spectra with a ..pi sqrt..2 iron-free magnetic ..beta..-ray spectrometer. Anisotropies of ..gamma..-..gamma.. angular correlations were measured for the 0-2-0 spin sequence to confirm the excited 0/sup +/ states. The dimensionless ratio of E0 to E2 transition probabilities X = B(E0,0/sup +/-0/sup +//sub g/)/B(E2,0/sup +/-2/sup +//sub 1/) for the first, second, and third excited 0/sup +/ states were deduced as 0.0081 +- 0.0008, 0.13 +- 0.02, and <0.035, respectively. The relative monopole strength from the second excited 0/sup +/ state at 2056.6 keV was obtained as rho(0/sup +//sub 2/-0/sup +//sub 1/)/ rho(0/sup +//sub 2/-0/sup +//sub g/) = 7.3 +- 0.8.
