Electric quadrupole transitions of the Bohr Hamiltonian with   Manning-Rosen potential
  Analytical expressions of the wave functions are derived for a Bohr Hamiltonian with the Manning{Rosen potential in the cases of {\gamma}-unstable nuclei and axially symmetric prolate deformed ones with {\gamma}=0. By exploiting the results we have obtained in a recent work on the same theme Ref. [1], we have calculated the B(E2) transition rates for 34 {\gamma}-unstable and 38 rotational nuclei and compared to experimental data, revealing a qualitative agreement with the experiment and phase transitions within the ground state band and showing also that the Manning-Rosen potential is more appropriate for such calculations than other potentials.
