Lifetimes of excited states in {sup 182}Hg were extracted from recoil-gated {gamma}-ray spectra and recoil-gated {gamma}{gamma}-coincidence matrices using the recoil distance Doppler-shift method. States were populated using the {sup 96}Mo({sup 88}Sr,2n){sup 182}Hg fusion-evaporation reaction. Measured lifetimes allowed transition probabilities, transition quadrupole moments, quadrupole deformation parameters, and transition dipole moments to be deduced for the band formed by the odd-spin yrast states. The experimental results confirm the low degree of octupole collectivity in this mass region.
