B(E3;01+→31-) transition matrix elements have been measured for even-mass 124-134Xe nuclei using subbarrier Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics. The trends in energy E(3-) and B(E3;01+→31-) excitation strengths are well reproduced using phenomenological models based on a strong coupling picture with a soft quadrupole mode and an increasing occupation of the intruder h11/2 orbital.
