Abstract: (APS)
We investigate classical and quantum signatures of increased regularity in the Alhassid-Whelan semiregular arc inside the symmetry triangle of the interacting boson model. A significant bunching/antibunching pattern of quantum levels, similar to that observed along the O(6)-U(5) transition, is found in the 0+ energy spectrum and related to a crossover of two specific families of classical regular orbits slightly above E=0. We also discuss the degeneracy of β and γ bandheads in a region close to the arc and the relation to regularity in the geometric model.
