Nuclei in the vicinity of doubly magic nuclei away from the line of stability provide a tremendous testing ground to study the evolution of nuclear shell structure as a function of the unbalance between proton and neutron numbers. The decay In (Z=49, N=83), just one proton below and one neutron above doubly magic Sn, were studied at the ISOLDE Decay Station. Using the RILIS laser ion source, separate measurements of the 9/2 ground state and 1/2 isomer were carried out. With the use of -delayed neutron and -ray spectroscopy, the decay strengths above the neutron separation energy were quantified for the first time. The spins and parities to the neutron-unbound states based were assigned based on the -decay selection rules, the log ft values, and systematics. The experimental findings greatly extend the current knowledge of the In decay from previous works, providing the -strength distribution southeast of Sn.
