The measurement of nuclear level lifetimes via the Doppler-shift attenuation method (DSAM) using proton-γ coincidences is well established at the 10 MV FN-Tandem accelerator in Cologne [1]. The SONIC@HORUS setup allows to determine excitation energy, recoil velocity and direction of the target nuclei [2]. In the standard analysis, the attenuation factor F(τ) has been determined by comparing the Doppler-shift at different photon emission angles θ and using that F(τ) represents the slope of Eγ(cos(θ)). In this contribution a new approach will be introduced, in which the data are first Doppler-corrected and summed up, assuming different F(τ) values. Then, for each line, the optimum F(τ) yielding the best peak shape is determined. Due to the highly improved peak-to-background ratio, lifetimes of weaker transitions might also be extracted. Furthermore, first results from DSAM experiments on 130Te and 128Te using this method will be presented.
