The E1 strength distribution of a nucleus can be investigated via different excitation mechanisms. The tin isotopic chain is perfect for systematic studies, favoured by their magic proton number. Experiments on 124 Sn using (α,α’γ) [1], (γ,γ’) [2] as well as ( 17 O, 17 O’γ) [3] were already performed. The different excitation pattern observed in experiments with hadronic probes compared to electromagnetic probes might indicate a more isospin-mixed character of the Pygmy Dipole Resonance in contrast to the isovector character of the Giant Dipole Resonance [4]. To further investigate this phenomenon, a (p,p’γ) experiment at Ep=15 MeV was performed at the Cologne Tandem accelerator. The combined setup SONIC@HORUS was used, enabling a coincident measurement of the scattered protons and γ-rays. Apart from the excitation response, preliminary results on branching ratios will be presented. Supported by DFG(ZI 510/7-1).
