\subsection{Exceptional points in the UHF formalism}\label{sec:uhfSing}
\titou{T2: please modify structure of this section.}
Within the RHF formalism, we have observed only $\alpha$ singularities and large avoided crossings but one can see in Fig.~\ref{fig:UHFMiniBas} that in the UHF case there are sharp avoided crossings which are known to be connected to $\beta$ singularities. For example at $R=10$ the pair of singularities connected to the avoided crossing between s\textsuperscript{2} and sp\textsubscript{z} $^{3}P$ is $0.999\pm0.014\,i$. And the one between sp\textsubscript{z} $^{3}P$ and p\textsubscript{z}\textsuperscript{2} is connected with the singularities $2.207\pm0.023\,i$. However, in spherium, the electrons cannot be ionized so those singularities cannot be the same $\beta$ singularities as the ones highlighted by Sergeev and Goodson \cite{Sergeev_2005}. We can see in Fig.~\ref{fig:UHFEP} that the s\textsuperscript{2} singlet and the sp\textsubscript{z} triplet states are degenerated for $R=3/2$. For $R>3/2$, it becomes an avoided crossing on the real axis and the degeneracies are $moved$ in the complex plane. The wave function is spin contaminated by $Y_1$ for $R>3/2$ this is why the s\textsuperscript{2} singlet energy cannot cross the sp\textsubscript{z} triplet curves anymore. When $R$ increases this avoided crossing becomes sharper. As presented before $\beta$ singularities are linked to quantum phase transition so it seems that this singularity is linked to the spin symmetry breaking of the UHF wave function. The fact that a similar pair of $\beta$ singularities appears for $R<-75/62$ confirms this assumption. A second pair of $\beta$ singularities appear for $R\gtrsim 2.5$, this is probably due to an excited-state quantum phase transition but this still need to be investigated.
