The connections between the X(5)-models (the original X(5) using an infinite square well, X(5)-$beta^8$, X(5)-$beta^6$, X(5)-$beta^4$, and X(5)-$beta^2$), based on particular solutions of the geometrical Bohr Hamiltonian with harmonic potential in th
e $gamma$ degree of freedom, and the interacting boson model (IBM) are explored. This work is the natural extension of the work presented in [1] for the E(5)-models. For that purpose, a quite general one- and two-body IBM Hamiltonian is used and a numerical fit to the different X(5)-models energies is performed, later on the obtained wave functions are used to calculate B(E2) transition rates. It is shown that within the IBM one can reproduce well the results for energies and B(E2) transition rates obtained with all these X(5)-models, although the agreement is not so impressive as for the E(5)-models. From the fitted IBM parameters the corresponding energy surface can be extracted and it is obtained that, surprisingly, only the X(5) case corresponds in the moderate large N limit to an energy surface very close to the one expected for a critical point, while the rest of models seat a little farther.
The observed preponderance of ground states with angular momentum L=0 in many-body quantum systems with random two-body interactions is analyzed in terms of correlation coefficients (covariances) among different eigenstates. It is shown that the geom
etric analysis of Chau {it et al.} can be interpreted in terms of correlations (covariances) between energy eigenvalues thus providing an entirely statistical explanation of the distribution of ground state angular momenta of randomly interacting quantum systems which, in principle, is valid for both fermionic and bosonic systems. The method is illustrated for the interacting boson model.
We present evidence for a new supersymmetric quartet in the A=190 region of the nuclear mass table. New experimental information on transfer and neutron capture reactions to the odd-odd nucleaus 194 Ir strongly suggests the existence of a new supersy
mmetric quartet, consisting of the 192,193 Os and 193,194 Ir nuclei. We make explicit predictions for the odd-neutron nucleus 193 Os, and suggest that its spectroscopic properties be measured in dedicated experiments.
