Spectroscopy of Sn110 via the high-resolution Sn112(p,t)Sn110 reaction

The Sn112(p,t)Sn110 reaction was studied in a high-resolution experiment at an incident proton energy of 26 MeV. Angular distributions for 27 transitions to levels of Sn110 up to an excitation energy of ∼4.3 MeV were measured. A distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) analysis of experimental angular distributions using conventional Woods-Saxon potentials were done, allowing either the confirmation of previous spin and parity values or the assignment of new spin and parity to a large number of Sn110 states. A shell-model study was performed using an effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The energy spectra are calculated and compared with experiment, whereas the theoretical two-nucleon spectroscopic amplitudes, evaluated in a truncated seniority space, are used in the microscopic DWBA calculation of some cross-section angular distributions.
