Complementary descriptions of shape/phase transitions in atomic nuclei
Dennis Bonatsos, E. A. McCutchan, N. V. Zamfir
Shape/phase transitions in atomic nuclei have first been discovered in the framework of the Interacting Boson Approximation (IBA) model. Critical point symmetries appropriate for n…
What can we learn from the Interacting Boson Model in the limit of large boson numbers?
Dennis Bonatsos, E. A. McCutchan, R. F. Casten
Over the years, studies of collective properties of medium and heavy mass nuclei in the framework of the Interacting Boson Approximation (IBA) model have focused on finite boson nu…
Unified description of 0+ states in a large class of nuclear collective models
Dennis Bonatsos, E. A. McCutchan, R. F. Casten
A remarkably simple regularity in the energies of 0+ states in a broad class of collective models is discussed. A single formula for all 0+ states in flat-bottomed infinite potenti…
Simple, empirical order parameter for a first order quantum phase transition in atomic nuclei
Dennis Bonatsos, E. A. McCutchan, R. F. Casten +1
A simple, empirical signature of a first order phase transition in atomic nuclei is presented, the ratio of the energy of the 6+ level of the ground state band to the energy of the…
0+ states in the large boson number limit of the Interacting Boson Approximation model
Dennis Bonatsos, E. A. McCutchan, R. F. Casten
Studies of the Interacting Boson Approximation (IBA) model for large boson numbers have been triggered by the discovery of shape/phase transitions between different limiting symmet…
Exactly separable version of X(5) and related models
D. Bonatsos, D. Lenis, E. A. McCutchan +2
One-parameter exactly separable versions of the X(5) and X(5)-beta^2 models, labelled as ES-X(5) and ES-X(5)-beta^2 respectively, are derived by using in the Bohr Hamiltonian poten…
