Yrast Excitations around Doubly Magic132Snfrom Fission Productγ-Ray Studies

Prompt $\gamma$-ray cascades in neutron-rich nuclei around doubly magic ${}^{132}\mathrm{Sn}$ have been studied at Eurogam II using a ${}^{248}\mathrm{Cm}$ fission source. Yrast states to above 5.5 MeV in the two- and three-proton $N=82\mathrm{}$ isotones ${}^{134}\mathrm{Te}$ and ${}^{135}\mathrm{I}$ are reported. They are interpreted in terms of valence proton and particle-hole core excitations with the help of shell model calculations employing empirical nucleon-nucleon interactions from both ${}^{132}\mathrm{Sn}$ and ${}^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ regions. A serious inconsistency in the accepted masses of $N=82\mathrm{}$ isotones near ${}^{132}\mathrm{Sn}$ is discovered but not resolved.
