Algebraic treatment of alpha-cluster nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2025-09-12 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

In this contribution we review the algebraic cluster model (ACM) for α\alpha-cluster nuclei with A=4kA=4k nucleons and its extension to the cluster shell model (CSM) for A=4k+xA=4k+x nuclei. Particular attention is paid to the question to what extent the α\alpha-cluster structure survives under the addition of extra nucleons. As an example, we discuss the properties of 12^{12}C and 13^{13}C.
