Abstract
We discuss the fact that yrast levels in vibrational-like even-even nuclei do not follow the simple first-order anharmonic relation if and states are taken into account. The interpretation in terms of the vibrator model with three-phonon interactions is in contrast to the earlier description using the limit of the interacting boson model-1 with an anomalous energy of the state. The recently discovered peak in the statistical distribution of the to energy ratio at supports the latter viewpoint.
