The excitation function of the Sn-116(n, gamma) in the neutron energy range 3-200 keV was measured using the Karlsruhe pulsed 3.75 MV Van de Graaff accelerator with the Li-7(p,n) reaction as a neutron source. Neutron capture cross sections were calculated for thermal energies between 10 and 100 keV. The neutron capture cross section of Sn-116 in combination with s-process systematics was then used to determine solar tin abundance. The solar tin abundance value was found to be at least 23 percent lower than meteoritic tin abundance quoted by Anders (1988). This result is discussed with regard to the origin of Sn-115.
