Lifetime measurements in neutron rich $^{129}$Sn and $^{130,132}$Te

Electromagnetic transition rates provide one of the most sensitive probes of nuclear structure and they are of great value in probing the details of nuclear many-body wave functions in spherical and transitional nuclei around the closed shells (“magic nuclei”) [1,2]. Such measurements in Sn and Te nuclei close to the double shell closure of 132Sn are of substantial importance
