Pairing-quadrupole interplay in the neutron-deficient tin nuclei: first lifetime measurements of low-lying states in ${}^{106,108}$Sn

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-ine…
