Ground State Bands of the E(5) and X(5) Critical Symmetries Obtained from Davidson Potentials through a Variational Procedure

Dennis Bonatsos, D. Lenis, N. Minkov +3

Davidson potentials of the form ${\beta }^2+{\beta }_0^4/{\beta }^2$, when used in the original Bohr Hamiltonian for $\gamma$-independent potentials bridge the U(5) and O(6) symmetries. Using a variational…
