The β decay of 135Sn was studied at CERN/ISOLDE using a resonance ionization laser ion source and mass separator to achieve elemental and mass selectivity, respectively. γ-ray singles and γ-γ coincidence spectra were collected as a function of time with the laser on and with the laser off. These data were used to establish the positions of new levels in 135Sb, including new low-spin states at 440 and 798 keV, which are given tentative spin and parity assignments of 3/2+ and 9/2+, respectively. The observed levels of 135Sb are compared with shell-model calculations using different single-particle energies and different interactions.
