The semi-magic
Sn isotopes display signs of shape coexistence in their excited 0
states, which, in contrast to the spherical 0
ground states, are deformed. This paper investigates the nuclear structure of
Sn using the competing 
decay and electron capture of a radioactive beam of
Sb produced at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility using the GRIFFIN spectrometer. This study will allow for an in-depth understanding of the excited 0
states in
Sn, by focusing on their decay patterns. In the present experiment, transitions at 856.2-keV and 1405.0-keV, which were observed in an earlier 
decay study but not placed in the
Sn level scheme, have been assigned to the level scheme in connection to the 0
3 level at 2156.0-keV. Properly assigning these transitions refines the level scheme and enhances our understanding of the nuclear structure in
Sn.
