Significant differences in B(E2) values in the Sn isotopic chain exist in literature. Namely, the methods of Coulomb excitation and Doppler shift attenuation yield non-consistent B(E2) excitation strengths. Within this work, the method of nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) was used, in order to derive a new B(E2; 2₁⁺ → 0₁⁺) value for ¹¹²Sn. The high precision experiment at the superconducting Darmstadt electron linear accelerator S-DALINAC yields a new value in a model-independent way. A sample of 4428.5 mg of highly enriched ¹¹²Sn (99.995%) was irradiated with a bremsstrahlung photon beam at an endpoint energy of 2.5 MeV. Known level widths from the calibration standards ²⁷Al and ⁵⁹Co were used for photon-flux calibration. The extended target and the finite opening angles were taken into account. First results of the measurements and the evaluation will be presented and discussed.
