Position of the single-particle 3/2− state in 135Sn and the N=90 subshell closure by A. Jungclaus, P. Doornenbal, J. Acosta, V. Vaquero, F. Browne, M.L. Cortes, A. Gargano, T. Koiwai, H. Naïdja, R. Taniuchi, J.A. Tostevin, K. Wimmer, A. Algora, H. Baba, A. Fernández, N. Lalović, E. Nácher, B. Rubio, H. Sakurai

“…Several γ rays emitted from excited 135Sn ions were observed following one-neutron and one-neutron-one-proton removal from 136Sn and 137Sb beams, respectively, on a beryllium target at relativistic energies. Based on the analogy to 133Sn populated via one-neutron removal from 134Sn, an excitation energy of 695(15) keV is assigned to the 3/2− state with strongest single-particle character in 135Sn. …”
