The $\ensuremath{\beta}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_{2}\mathrm{Pd}$ compound has been proposed as another example of a multigap superconductor [Imai et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 81, 113708 (2012)]. Here, we report on measurements of several important physical quantities capable of showing a presence of multiple energy gaps on our superconducting single crystals of $\ensuremath{\beta}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_{2}\mathrm{Pd}$ with …
