Relativistic mean field theory is used to produce potential energy surfaces (PESs) for Ti isotopes. The relatively flat PESs suggest that 48, 52, 60Ti, being on the way from vibrations to γ-unstable behavior, are the possible examples with the transitional dynamical symmetry E(5). Especially for 48Ti, PES shows that it is a better candidate with E(5) symmetry. These conclusions are supported by the experimental data via the observed ratios of excitation energies.
