Description

Lifetimes of excited states in 125Xe populated in the (12C, 3n) reaction on 116Cd were measured by the recoil distance method. A delayed tagging technique was employed to preferentially detect the non-yrast transitions in the νgsub(7/2) band system built on the Isup(π) = 7/2+, Tsub(1/2) = 140 ns isomer in 125Xe. The following mean lifetimes tau(Isup(π), Esub(x)) were obtained: 115+-25 ps (9/2+, 597 keV), 11.3+-1.1 ps (11/2+, 871 keV), 4.2+-1.5 ps (13/2+, 1210 keV), 3.8+-1.3 ps (15/2+, 1536 keV); 12.5+-1.3 ps (15/2-, 797 keV). The results are well described within the triaxial-rotor-plus-particle model. (orig.)
