Zilges Nucleon transfer reactions are sensitive nuclear structure probes. The authors used ultrahigh-resolution two-nucleon transfer ( p , t ) reactions to identify 15 new excited 0 + states of 240 Pu, some 7 times the number previously known, plus other states also seen for the first time. These data, combined with existing γ -ray data and model calculations, provide nuclear structure information on pairing correlations and two-phonon octupole excitations in the difficult-to-investigate actinide nuclei.
