B (E2) values of transitions from kπ= 0+→ 2+ vibrational bands in some well deformed heavy nuclei

There is simultaneous reduced B (E2) values of low-lying Kπ= 0+→ 2+ states, indicating a beta vibration like structure as well as the two particle transfer cross-section which suggest a pairing vibration like character and interpreted that low-lying kπ= 0+→ 2+ resonance are classical beta vibrations. Recently, similar doubts about the origin of beta vibrations from surface oscillation have also been published
