The angular momenta and parities of the low lying states of <sup>132</sup>Sn have been firmly determined through studies of the β-decay of <sup>132</sup>In. The lowest lying state with a negative parity is shown to have a collective octupole character. Several particle-hole multiplets have been identified, including the lowest lying proton excitation. Theoretical estimates of multiplet positions and multiplet splittings, based on the analogy with <sup>208</sup>Pb, agree well with the data. More than about 20% of the theoretically estimated bound states of <sup>132</sup>Sn have been identified. |
