SHELL MODEL DESCRIPTION OF 102-108Sn ISOTOPES.

We have performed shell model calculations for neutron deficient even ^102-108Sn and odd ^103-107Sn isotopes in sdg_7/2h_11/2 model space using two different interactions. The first set of interaction is due to Brown et al. and second is due to Hoska et al. The calculations have been performed using doubly magic ¹⁰⁰Sn as core and valence neutrons are distributed over the single particle orbits 1g_7/2, 2d_5/2, 2d_3/2, 3s_1/2 and 1h_11/2. In more recent experimental work for ¹⁰¹Sn [I. G. Darby et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.105 (2010) 162502], the g.s. is predicted as 5/2⁺ with excited 7/2⁺ at 172 keV. We have also performed another two set of calculations by taking difference in single particle energies of 2d_5/2 and 1g_7/2 orbitals by 172 keV. The present state-of-the-art shell model calculations predict fair agreement with the experimental data. These calculations serve as a test of nuclear shell model in the region far from stability for unstable Sn isotopes near the doubly magic ¹⁰⁰Sn core. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
