Good Agreement

A critical point symmetry for the prolate to oblate shape phase transition is intro­ duced, starting from the Bohr Hamiltonian and approximately separating variables for γ=30°. Parameter-free (up to overall scale factors) predictions for spectra and B(E2) transition rates are found to be in good agreement with experimental data for 194Pt, which is supposed to be located very close to the prolate to oblate critical point, as well as for its neighbours (192Pt, 196Pt).

Shape Phase Transition

Davidson potentials of the form β^2 + β0^4/β^2, when used in the original Bohr Hamiltonian for γ-independent potentials bridge the U(5) and 0(6) symmetries. Using a variational procedure, we determine for each value of angular momentum L the value of β0 at which the derivative of the energy ratio RL = E(L)/E(2) with respect to β0 has a sharp maximum, the collection of RL values at these points forming a band which practically coincides with the ground state band of the E(5) model, corresponding to the critical point in the shape phase transition from U(5) to Ο(6). The same potentials, when used in the Bohr Hamiltonian after separating variables as in the X(5) model, bridge the U(5) and SU(3) symmetries, the same variational procedure leading to a band which practically coincides with the ground state band of the X(5) model, corresponding to the critical point of the U(5) to SU(3) shape phase transition. A new derivation of the Holmberg-Lipas formula for nuclear energy spectra is obtained as a by-product.

Shape Phase Transition

Abstract The main aim of the present paper is to study extensively the γ-rigid Bohr Hamiltonian with anharmonic sextic oscillator potential for the variable β and γ = 0. For the corresponding spectral problem, a finite number of eigenvalues are found explicitly, by algebraic means, so-called Quasi-Exact Solvability (QES). The evolution of the spectral and electromagnetic properties by considering higher exact solvability orders is investigated, especially the approximate degeneracy of the ground and first two β bands in the critical point of the shape phase transition from a harmonic to an anharmonic prolate β-soft, also the shape evolution within an isotopic chain. Numerical results are given for 39 nuclei, namely, 98-108Ru, 100-102Mo, 116-130Xe, 180-196Pt, 172Os, 146-150Nd, 132-134Ce, 152-154Gd, 154-156Dy, 150-152Sm, 190Hg and 222Ra. Across this study, it seems that the higher quasi-exact solvability order improves our results by decreasing the rms, mostly for deformed nuclei. The nuclei 100,104Ru, 118,120,126,128Xe, 148Nd and 172Os fall exactly in the critical point.
