Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative interpretation of sharply rising E0 strengths in transitional regions.

TL;DR: Calculations using the interacting-boson approximation (IBA) show that strong 0(+)(2)-->0( +)(1) E0 transitions provide a clear signature of phase transitional behavior in finite nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for partial dynamical symmetries in atomic nuclei.

TL;DR: The first extensive test of a PDS for nuclei is presented, comparing an SU(3) PDS to gamma to ground band B(E2) values for 47 deformed nuclei, and the parameter-free PDS is found to be quite successful, but with characteristic discrepancies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced density of low-lying 0+ states: A corroboration of shape phase transitional behavior

TL;DR: In this article, a study of eight nuclei in the rare earth region identified 96 0 + states (67 new) and their density at low energy was used to corroborate a fundamental property of quantum phase transitional behavior and to provide a new signature of nuclei near the critical point.
