Signatures of the population of the Giant Pairing Vibration (GPV), a correlated two-nucleon excitation across major shell expected to be populated in two-nucleon transfer reactions, have been observed for the first time in carbon isotopes. In the present paper, a review of the experimental methods and of the analysis leading to that observation is reported. A new case, with new experimental data, regarding the possible population of the GPV in another light nucleus, 11Be , by the same reaction, is introduced and discussed.
