Physical Review C, 103(3),0343292469-998510.1103/PhysRevC.103.034329http://hdl.handle.net/10566/6159We performed a high resolution study of 0 + states in 134 Ba using the 136 Ba ( p , t ) two-neutron transfer reaction. Our experiment shows a significant portion of the L = 0 pair-transfer strength concentrated at excited 0 + levels in 134 Ba . Potential implications in the context of 136 Xe → 136 Ba neutrinoless double beta decay matrix element calculations are briefly discussed.enNuclear reactionsTransfer reactionsNuclear spin & parityH & He induced nuclear reactionsNuclear structure & decaysArticle
