One of the most studied case to explore the evolution of shell closures far from stability is the doubly-magic and self-conjugated 100Sn nucleus. Information on its doubly-magic nature can be extracted fromthe systematic study of the tin isotopic chain. In this context, the lifetimes of the neutron deficient 105Sn have been investigated with the coincidence Recoil Distance Doppler Shift (RDDS) technique throughthe reaction 50Cr(58Ni,2pn)105Sn. Preliminary results concerning the lifetimesof 105In excited states are in good agreement with the adopted lifetimes, demonstrating the feasibility to extract lifetimes with this experimental technique.
