This work features preliminary results from a recent experimental campaign at IFIN-HH, Romania, aimed at measuring lifetimes of excited states in the neutron-rich 180Hf, by means of the RDDS technique. The 181Ta(11B,12C)180Hf proton pick-up reaction was used to populate excited states in the 180Hf nucleus. The ROSPHERE array loaded with 25 HPGe detectors was employed for the detection of the γ transitions depopulating the levels of interest. The array was coupled to the SORCERER particle detector and a plunger device enabling the study of p-γ and p-γ-γ coinciding events. Six different plunger foil distances were chosen, allowing for the construction of the decay curves of the observed γ transitions of interest, from which the corresponding level lifetimes can subsequently be deduced.
