Abstract	The lifetimes of the low-lying excited states $2^+$ and $4^+$ have been directly measured in the neutron-deficient $^{106,108}$Sn isotopes. The nuclei were populated via a deep-inelastic reaction and the lifetime measurement was performed employing a differential plunger device. The emitted $\gamma$ rays were detected by the AGATA array, while the reaction products were uniquely identified by the VAMOS++ magnetic spectrometer. Large-Scale Shell-Model calculations with realistic forces indicate that, independently of the pairing content of the interaction, the quadrupole force is dominant in the $B(E2; 2_1^+ \to 0_{g.s.}^+)$ values and it describes well the experimental pattern for $^{104-114}$Sn; the $B(E2; 4_1^+ \to 2_1^+)$ values, measured here for the first time, depend critically on a delicate pairing-quadrupole balance, disclosed by the very precise results in $^{108}$Sn. This result provides insight in the hitherto unexplained $B(E2; 4_1^+ \to 2_1^+)/B(E2; 2_1^+ \to 0_{g.s.}^+) < 1$ anomaly.

$(Color online) (left) Doppler-corrected $\gamma$-ray energy spectra of $^{108}$Sn for different target-to-degrader distances, gated on the Total Kinetic-Energy Loss (TKEL). For each transition the \textit{unshifted} ($u$) and \textit{shifted} ($s$) centroids are indicated by a solid and a dashed line, respectively. (right) Ratio of the transition components intensity as a function of the distance, obtained by gating on the TKEL. The dashed lines represent the fitted decay curves for the two excited states.$ $(Color online) Reduced transition probability $B(E2)$ for the (a) $2_1^+ \rightarrow 0_{g.s.}^+$ and (b) $4_1^+ \rightarrow 2_1^+$ transitions along the Sn isotopic chain. The results of the present work (red squares) are compared with those from previous experiments~\cite{jonsson1981collective, radford2004nuclear, banu2005sn, vaman2007sn, cederkall2007sub, orce20072, ekstrom2008sn, doornenbal2008enhanced, kumar2010enhanced, allmond2011coulomb, jungclaus2011evidence, kumbartzki2012transient, bader2013quadrupole, guastalla2013coulomb, doornenbal2014intermediate, allmond2015investigation, kumbartzki2016z, kumar2017noevidence, spieker2018shape}. The predictions from Large-Scale Shell-Model calculations from the I.3.4 interaction are also shown (open black pentagons).$ $(Color online) Experimental and calculated (a) $B(E2;2_1^+ \to 0_{g.s.}^+)$ and (b) $B(E2;4_1^+ \to 2_1^+)$ values and (c) $B_{4/2} \equiv B(E2;4_1^+ \to 2_1^+)/B(E2;2_1^+ \to 0_{g.s.}^+)$ ratio for Sn isotopes. Effective charges are $(e_\pi, e_\nu) = (1.40, 0.72)$ throughout. For $A=112$ and $114$ the neutron effective charge $e_\nu$ should be increased to 0.75 to account for the omission of the $h_{11/2}$ shell, that plays a small but significant role. Experimental $B(E2;2_1^+ \to 0_{g.s.}^+)$ values are the weighted averages of the Fig.~\ref{fig:B(E2)} results, while the $B(E2;4_1^+ \to 2_1^+)$ data comes from Ref.~\cite{jonsson1981collective} and the present work. I.3.0s1.6 has the $s_{1/2}$ single particle energy moved up by 800 keV with respect to GEMO.$ Show more plots
