Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 132502 (2003) [4 pages]Phase Transitions in Angle VariablesReceived 21 April 2003; published 26 September 2003 Phase transitions in angle variables are studied. An example of angular phase transition, an axially to triaxially deformed “shape” transition in nuclei, is discussed. Spectroscopic signatures for the occurrence of these transitions are suggested. Preliminary experimental evidence is presented. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
