On the origin of nuclear clustering

Nuclear Theory 2015-06-04 v1

Abstract

Clustering is one of the most complex phenomena known to the structure of atomic nuclei. A comprehensive description of this ubiquitous phenomenon goes beyond standard shell model and cluster model frameworks. We argue that clustering is a consequence of an openness of the nuclear many-body system. To illustrate this point, we study the near-threshold behavior of exceptional points in ^16 Ne and ^24 S.
