Resumo

A segmented Si-telescope and HPGe array, STARS-LIBERACE, was used to study the 156Gd( $p,t\gamma$ )154Gd direct reaction by particle- $ \gamma$ coincidence spectroscopy. New cross sections with a 25MeV proton beam are reported and compared to previous (p,t) and (t,p) studies. Furthermore, additional evidence for coexisting $ K^{\pi}=0_{1}^{+},2_{1}^{+}$ and $0_{2}^{+}$ , $2_{2}^{+}$ configurations at N = 90 is presented. Direct and indirect population patterns of the low-lying states are also explored. Review of the new and existing evidence favors an interpretation based on a configuration-dependent pairing interaction. The weakening of monopole pairing strength and an increase in quadrupole pairing strength could bring 2p-2h $0^{+}$ states below $2\Delta$ . This may account for a large number of the low-lying $0^{+}$ states observed in two-nucleon transfer reactions. A hypothesis for the origin of the $0_{2}^{+}$ and $ 0_{3}^{+}$ states is provided.
