High resolution spectroscopy of 112Sn through the 114Sn(p,t)112Sn reaction

The 114Sn(p,t)112Sn reaction has been investigated in a high resolution experiment at incident proton energy of 22 MeV. Angular distributions for 28 transitions to levels of 112Sn up to the excitation energy of 3.624 MeV have been measured. The spin and parity identification has been carried out by means of a distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) analysis, performed by using conventional Woods-Saxon potentials. A shell-model study of 112Sn nucleus has been performed using a realistic two-body effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The energy spectra have been calculated and compared with the experimental ones, while the theoretical two-nucleon spectroscopic amplitudes, evaluated in a truncated seniority space, have been used in the microscopic DWBA calculation of the cross-section angular distributions.
