Lifetimes of excited states in Xe were measured using the recoil-distance Doppler-shift technique. Excited Xe nuclei were populated in the fusion-evaporation reaction 
Pd(
O,2n)Xe. Lifetimes of the 2
and 4 states were evaluated using the differential decay-curve method with 
--coincidence data as well as lifetimes of the 6 and 7
states using simulations of spectra considering Doppler-shift attenuation effects.
