Abstract
The γ-rigid solution of the Bohr Hamiltonian with the β-soft potential and 0 ≤γ≤30 is worked out. The resulting model, called T(4), provides a natural dynamical connection between the X(4) and the Z(4) critical-point symmetries, which thus serves as the critical-point symmetry of the spherical to γ-rigidly deformed shape phase transition. This point is further justified through comparing the model dynamics with those of the interacting boson model. As a preliminary test, the low-lying structures of Er158 are taken to compare the theoretical calculations, and the results indicate that this nucleus could be considered as the candidate of the T(4) model with an intermediate γ deformation.
