Natural radiative lifetimes of five higher-lying odd-parity levels 5pTs 3p1o,5p5d 1p1o,5p6d 3F2o,3D1o and 3F3o in neutral tin are measured by the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence (TR-LIF) technique and the atomic beam method. All these lifetimes are not longer than 100 ns and they are found to be shorter than the lifetimes of evenparity levels in the same energy region. The results reported in this paper provide important transition parameters for highly-excited atomic Sn,which may be useful for theoretically calculating excited heavy atoms.
