Lifetimes of excited states in 94Zr were previously measured applying the Doppler-shift attenuation method (DSAM) following the (n,n′γ) reaction [1,2]. Since the two measurements were in conflict with each other, we remeasured 14 lifetimes of excited states in 94Zr in a (p,p′γ) experiment utilizing the DSAM technique [3]. Centroid-energy shifts were extracted from proton-gated γ-ray spectra, yielding lifetime values that are independent of feeding contributions. The results were compared to the previously measured lifetimes and found to be in good agreement with the values reported in Ref. [2], thus confirming the correction procedure introduced in Ref. [2] for the (n,n′γ) data. This contribution will feature our new results and introduce the (p,p′γ) DSAM technique, which is now available in Cologne.
