Abstract
We have searched even-even nuclei with $Z>~20,$ $N>~20$ to find examples displaying the predicted characteristics of X(5) critical point behavior. On the basis of the yrast state energies and yrast intraband transition strengths, the best candidates are ${}^{126}\mathrm{Ba},$ ${}^{130}\mathrm{Ce},$ and the previously suggested examples of the $N=90$ isotones of Nd, Sm, Gd, and Dy.
