Abstract

We present the first extensive test of the critical point symmetry X(5) for the gamma degree of freedom, based in part on recent measurements for the gamma-band in 152 Sm. The agreement is good for some observables including the energies and most intra- and interband transitions, but there is also a serious discrepancy for one transition.
