Quantum phase transition for gamma-soft nuclei.
We examine a quantum phase transition in gamma-soft nuclei, where the O(6) limit is simultaneously a dynamical symmetry of the U(6) group of the interacting boson model and a critical point of a prolate-oblate phase transition. This is the only example of phase transitional behavior that can be described analytically for a finite s,d boson system.
