Abstract

A γ-rigid solution of the Bohr Hamiltonian for 7 = 30° is derived, its ground state band being related to the second order Casimir operator of the Euclidean algebra E(4). Parameter-free (up to overall scale factors) predictions for spectra and B(E2) transition rates are in close agreement to the E (5) critical point symmetry, as well as to experimental data in the Xe region around A = 130.
