X(3): An exactly separable {gamma}-rigid version of the X(5) critical point symmetry

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei
A {gamma}-rigid version (with {gamma} = 0) of the X(5) critical point symmetry is constructed. The model, to be called X(3) since it is proved to contain three degrees of freedom, utilizes an infinite well potential, is based on exact separation of variables, and leads to parameter-free (up to overall scale factors) predictions for spectra and B(E2) transition rates which are in good agreement with existing experimental data for {sup 172}Os and {sup 186}Pt. An unexpected similarity of the {beta}{sub 1} bands of the X(5) nuclei {sup 150}Nd, {sup 152}Sm, {sup 154}Gd, and {sup 156}Dy to the X(3) predictions is observed.
