Alpha cluster condensation in 12C and 16O

Nuclear Theory 2011-05-05 v1

Abstract

A new α\alpha-cluster wave function is proposed which is of the α\alpha-particle condensate type. Applications to 12^{12}C and 16^{16}O show that states of low density close to the 3 resp. 4 α\alpha-particle threshold in both nuclei are possibly of this kind. It is conjectured that all self-conjugate 4nn nuclei may show similar features.
