We will report on investigations aiming for stringent tests of the new critical point symmetry X(5) predictions [1] for the N=90 nuclei 154Gd and 156Dy. Aside from the energy spectra, absolute transition probabilities are crucial observables. We will compare our latest experimental values with the X(5) calculations as well as with IBM and GCM fits. Based on the energy spectra and relative transition probabilities, the 176−180Os nuclei can be considered to be very promising X(5) candidates in a new mass region. In oder to perform stringent tests for these Os nuclei more experimental data on absolute transition probabilities are needed. Therefore we performed a coincidence plunger measurement with the GASP spectrometer and the Köln plunger device. First results will be presented and compared to X(5) and IBA calculations.
