Critical Points in Nuclei and Interacting Boson Model Intrinsic States
Joseph N. Ginocchio, A. Leviatan
Abstract
We consider properties of critical points in the interacting boson model, corresponding to flat-bottomed potentials as encountered in a second-order phase transition between spherical and deformed γ-unstable nuclei. We show that intrinsic states with an effective β-deformation reproduce the dynamics of the underlying non-rigid shapes. The effective deformation can be determined from the the global minimum of the energy surface after projection onto the appropriate symmetry. States of fixed N and good O(5) symmetry projected from these intrinsic states provide good analytic estimates to the exact eigenstates, energies and quadrupole transition rates at the critical point.
