The excitation of 0+ states in direct nuclear reactions (p,t) is investigated taking into account the spin-orbit interaction. The energies of 0+ states and the cross sections of (p,t) reactions for selected isotopes of Sm and Gd have been investigated. The spin-orbit force affects the energies of excited 0+ states by modifying the nuclear density distribution, configuration mixing, and influencing the overall shape of the nucleus. Calculations have shown that the energies of the lowest 0+ states computed for a given value of spin-orbit interaction strength, are significantly higher than the corresponding experimental values. The spin-orbit interaction also increases the effective cross section observed in (p,t) reactions.
