Data and theory for the electric quadrupole excitation strength of the proton closed-shell Sn isotopes show an enhancement of the B(E2, 0₁⁺ → 2₁⁺) values towards N=50, and a seniority-type behavior towards N=82. However, in the transitional region around N=66 various sets of data and theory differ significantly. In particular, lifetime data using the Doppler-shift attenuation method [1] are at variance with data from Coulomb excitation. In this work we present final results of a series of experiments on ^112,116,120Sn, utilizing the nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) technique, which offers a model-independent way of measuring E2 strengths. The new data generally support the trend measured in Coulomb excitation experiments, and is in favor of a smooth transition between the different regions.
