The perhaps best understood example of a quantum critical point is the response of the dipolar Ising ferromagnet LiHoF4 to a transverse field [1-3]. We report an investigation of the AC susceptibility of LiHoF4 as a function of the magnetic field direction relative to the hard magnetic axis, deriving the evolution of the magnetic-phase-diagram as a function of field orientation. We discuss our findings in terms of a theoretical model taking quantiatively into account the non-Kramers nature of the Ho ions, the effects of hyperfine coupling and the presence of magnetic domains.
