Description
Transition probabilities for the yrast $2^+$ states in the midshell Te isotopes, 2 protons above Sn, are theoretically interesting in order to test shell model predictions. However, some values are still missing and some values have an error too large to successfully test shell model parameters. We have measured the lifetime of the $2^+$ to $0^+_{gs}$ transition in neutron deficient $^{118}$Te, using the DPUNS plunger and the JUROGAM II gamma-ray spectrometer at the JYFL accelerator laboratory, with the intention of decreasing the uncertainty in the adopted value. Furthermore, we aim to extend the analysis to include the currently unknown lifetime of the $2^+$ to $0^+_{gs}$ transition in $^{116}$Te.
