The Xenon isotopic chain ^{124,126,128,130,132}Xe has been studied via the Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics on thin carbon targets @ 85 % of the respective Coulomb barriers. As in [1], the aim of this experiment was the search for mixed symmetry states in a transitional region from spherical to weakly deformed γ-soft nuclei. Mixed symmetry states have been identified by their strong B(M1) transition strength deduced from the γ-ray yields observed with Gammasphere. Experimental results for the Xenon isotopes ^{124,128,130,132}Xe will be here presented and discussed.
