Abstract
The beta decays of Sn-102 and Sn-104 were studied by using high-resolution germanium detectors as well as a Total Absorption Spectrometer (TAS). For Sn-104, with three new beta-delayed gamma-rays identified, the total Gamow-Teller strength (B-GT) value of 2.7(3) was obtained. For Sn-102, the gamma-gamma coincidence data were collected for the first time, allowing us to considerably extend the decay scheme. This scheme was used to unfold the TAS data and to deduce a B-GT value of 4.2(8) for this decay. This result is compared to shell model predictions, yielding a hindrance factor of 3.6(7) in agreement with those obtained previously for Cd-98 and In-100. Together with the latter two, Sn-102 completes the triplet of Z = 50 nuclei with two proton holes, one proton hole and one neutron particle, and two neutron particles with respect to the doubly magic Sn-100 core.
