Abstract

We performed a high resolution study of 0(+) states in Ba-134 using the Ba-136(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 Ba-134. Potential implications in the context of Xe-136 -> Ba-136 neutrinoless double beta decay matrix element calculations are briefly discussed.
