The ͑p 1 , p 2 ͒ reaction on the isoscalar, doubly magic nuclei 16 O and 40 Ca has been measured in the energy range T p 45 90 MeV. The forward angle cross sections of the ground state transitions (GST) show a very pronounced resonancelike energy dependence. The observed energy and angle dependences are well described by the recent hypothesis of the formation of a pNN resonance in the course of the double charge exchange process. The deduced spreading widths are in accordance with estimates of the d 0 collision damping in the nuclear medium. In the reaction on 16 O in addition to the GST the transition to a 0 1 state at E x 2.1͑2͒ MeV in 16 Ne has been observed, which is interpreted as the quadruple isobaric analog state (QIAS) of the 0 1 2 state in 16 C at E x 3.03 MeV.
