Open Problems in $\alpha$ Particle Condensation

Nuclear Theory 2010-04-28 v1

Abstract

α\alpha particle condensation is a novel state in nuclear systems. We briefly review the present status on the study of α\alpha particle condensation and address the open problems in this research field: α\alpha particle condensation in heavier systems other than the Hoyle state, linear chain and α\alpha particle rings, Hoyle-analogue states with extra neutrons, α\alpha particle condensation related to astrophysics, etc.
