Abstract

The level structures of ^130,132Xe were studied with the inelastic neutron scattering reaction followed by γ-ray detection. Level lifetimes were measured using the Doppler-shift attenuation method and low-lying excited states in these nuclei were characterized. With a focus on the decay properties of the 0⁺ states, these nuclei were examined as representations of the E(5) critical-point symmetry.
