A test of X(5) for the gamma degree of freedom

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.
