Abstract

We present a noncollective description of the low-lying $0^{+}$ states strongly excited in ( $p, t$ ) reactions in the actinides. The description is based on the possible weakness of the oblate-prolate pairing force, suggested by Griffin, Jackson, and Volkov, and the low density of oblate states near the Fermi surface in these nuclei.
