title = "Enhanced density of low-lying 0+ states: A corroboration of shape phase transitional behavior",
abstract = "A (p, t) study of eight nuclei in the rare earth region identified 96 0+ states (67 new). Their density at low energy is used to corroborate a fundamental property of quantum phase transitional behavior and to provide a new signature of nuclei near the critical point.",
