Pairing properties of the double-β emitter ¹¹⁶Cd

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ^114,116Cd(p, t), E=22 MeV; measured triton spectra, σ(8° and 15°) using Q3D spectrograph at the MP tandem accelerator facility in Munich. ^112,114Cd; deduced levels, 0+ states from ratios of cross sections at 8° and 15° and DWBA analysis, relative populations. Comparison with previous data for 0+ states in ^116,118Sn from ^114,116Cd(³He, n) reactions. Discussed pairing properties of the 0νββ decay of ¹¹⁶Cd.
