Abstract

It is commonly believed that (α\alpha-d) and (3He{^3}He - 3H{^3}H) represent equivalent states of 6Li{^6}Li. It is shown here that this is not correct. These two are actually orthogonal to each other. It is shown here that these two with very different shapes and forms actually co-exist for the ground state of 6Li{^6}Li. This shape co-existence is the same as similar phenomenon in heavy nuclei. The puzzling anomaly of extremely small branching ratio for beta delayed deuteron emission in 6He{^6}He is explained here. In addition the anomalously large branching ratio for beta delayed triton emission in 8He{^8}He is explained. The cluster structure of the ground state and of the low-lying states of 6He{^6}He, 6Li{^6}Li and 6Be{^6}Be is clarified.
