Low-lying low-spin collective states in even {sup 106{minus}112}Cd and {sup 116}Cd were investigated using in-beam and off-beam {gamma}-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy. New spin assignments and decay branching ratios for the levels in {sup 106}Cd, {sup 108}Cd, {sup 110}Cd, and {sup 112}Cd were obtained. The present results essentially complement the level systematics from {sup 106}Cd to {sup 120}Cd. From the new data, it is inferred that two sets of low-lying 0{sup +} states having different excitation characteristics cross between {sup 114}Cd and {sup 116}Cd. No corresponding crossing occurs on the neutron deficient side. New evidence for the existence of the proton-intruder states has been found.
