Alpha-particle condensation in nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

A round up of the present status of the conjecture that n alpha nuclei form an alpha-particle condensate in excited states close to the n alpha threshold is given. Experiments which could demonstrate the condensate character are proposed. Possible lines of further theoretical developments are discussed.
