Abstract

The case of U(5)--Q^(χ)Q^(χ)\hat{Q}(\chi)\cdot\hat{Q}(\chi) mixing in the configuration-mixed Interacting Boson Model is studied in its mean-field approximation. Phase diagrams with analytical and numerical solutions are constructed and discussed. Indications for first-order and second-order shape phase transitions can be obtained from binding energies and from critical exponents, respectively.
