Abstract

Using the Beyond-Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach with various Skyrme-type NNNN effective interactions, we explore the large spectroscopic quadrupole moment QsQ_s of the first excited 21+2_{1}^{+} state in 20^{20}Ne. Our calculated Qs(21+)0.20 ebQ_s(2_{1}^{+}) \approx -0.20~e\textrm{b} aligns closely with the experimental value of 0.22(2) eb-0.22(2)~e\textrm{b}. Consistent with other theoretical methods, our results confirm the presence of an α\alpha cluster structure in this state. We also investigate the robustness of the α\alpha cluster against tensor-force, demonstrating that incorporating tensor components significantly enhances Qs(21+)Q_s(2_{1}^{+}) and strengthens the cluster structure along the symmetrical axis.
