E0 decays of0+states inGd146: Search for two-phonon octupole excitations

Abstract
Conversion-electron measurements following the (α144,2n) and He144,n) reactions reveal high-energy E0 transitions at 3020, 3485, and 3639 keV. The lowest of these deexcites the known two-neutron pairing vibrational state in Gd146. It is not clear whether either of the others can be associated with the 0+ member of the 3×3 two-phonon octupole multiplet.
