  The structure of 106Pd, populated in the EC/beta+ decay of 106Ag, was
investigated at the INFN Legnaro National Laboratories using the Spes
Low-energy Internal Conversion Electron Spectrometer (SLICES). The K-internal
conversion coefficients of some transitions have been measured and the electric
monopole transition strengths, between low-lying 2+ and 0+ states, have been
deduced. These experimental data combined with the results from internal
conversion electron measurement on 104Pd previously performed by the Florence
spectroscopy group were compared with the theoretical values calculated in the
framework of the interacting proton-neutron boson model. Good agreement between
experimental and theoretical values is found when interpreting the 0+3 level as
an intruder state.
