Critical-Point Structure in Finite Nuclei
arXiv:nucl-th/0612015 · doi:10.1063/1.2200925
Abstract
Properties of quantum shape-phase transitions in finite nuclei are considered in the framework of the interacting boson model. Special emphasis is paid to the dynamics at the critical-point of a general first-order phase transition.
