Abstract
The Xe isotopic chain with four valence protons above the Z=50 shell closureis an ideal laboratory for the study of the evolution of nuclear deformation. At the N=82 shellclosure, 136Xe presents all characteristics of a doubly closed shell nucleus with a spherical shape​.In the very neutron-deficient isotopes close to N=50, the -decay chain of Xe was investigated toprobe the radioactive decay properties near the drip-line and the magicity of 100Sn. Additionally,the Xe isotopes present higher order symmetries in the nuclear deformation such as the octupoledegree of freedom near N=60 and N=90 or O(6) symmetry in stable isotopes.
