This article provides a comprehensive overview of the race to study the nucleus 100Sn, including its history, experimental approaches, and the current understanding of its properties. The article discusses topics such as spin gap isomerism, seniority in the g9/2 hole space, large-scale shell model, and the future prospects of studying 100Sn. The article also mentions other doubly-magic and almost-magic nuclei like 56Ni, 78Ni, and 132Sn.

Symmetry rules in the seniority scheme • Excitation energies are independent of shell occupation n • Matrix elements of even-tensor one- and two particle operators change sign in mid-shell, i.e. they vanish for n = (2j+1)/2 • Odd-tensor one- and two particle operators are diagonal in v • Proton-neutron interaction, e.g T=0 core excitations, break seniority A.
