This review examines the tendency of light nuclei to exhibit clustering, where correlations
between nucleons result in the formation of precipitates, typically α particles. The …

Clustering has long been known to be influential in the structure of ground and excited
states of N= Z nuclei. States close to the decay thresholds are of particular interest, as …

The subject of clustering has a lineage which runs throughout the history of nuclear physics.
Its attraction is the simplification of the often uncorrelated behaviour of independent particles …

Giant resonances are collective excitation modes for many-body systems of fermions
governed by a mean field, such as the atomic nuclei. The microscopic origin of such modes …

Structures of excited states in C 14 are investigated with a method of β-γ constraint
antisymmetrized molecular dynamics in combination with the generator coordinate method …

We present a review of recent works on clustering phenomena in unstable nuclei studied by
antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD). The AMD studies in these decades have …

The 12 C (18 O, 16 O) 14 C and 12, 13 C (18 O, 17 O) 13, 14 C reactions are studied at 84
MeV. Mass distributions and energy spectra of the ejectiles are measured, indicating the …

The α (Be 10, α) Be 10 resonant scattering reaction has been measured at nine Be 10 beam
energies from 25 to 48 MeV, scanning out resonances in C 14 from excitation energies of 13 …

The stability of the linear chain structure of three α clusters for 12 C against the bending and
fission is investigated in the cranking covariant density functional theory, in which the …

It is a well-known fact that a cluster of nucleons can be formed in the interior of an atomic
nucleus, and such clusters may occupy molecular-like orbitals, showing characteristics …
