Five $\Xi^- p\to \Lambda\Lambda$ two-body capture events in $^{12}$C and $^{14}$N emulsion nuclei, in which a pair of single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei is formed and identified by their weak decay, have been observed in $(K^-,K^+)$ emulsion…
We present a method (the Aufbau/Abbau method) for optimizing the structure of a whole series of clusters without making any assumptions on the structure. Subsequently, the method is combined with the embedded-atom method in determining the…
We combine a recently developed ab initio many-body approach capable of describing simultaneously both bound and scattering states, the ab initio NCSM/RGM, with an importance truncation scheme for the cluster eigenstate basis and demostrate…
We develop a new ab initio many-body approach capable of describing simultaneously both bound and scattering states in light nuclei, by combining the resonating-group method with the use of realistic interactions, and a microscopic and…
To describe long-range behaviour of one particle removed from a few- or a many-body system, a hyperspherical cluster model has been developed. It has been applied to the ground and first excited states of helium drops with five, six, eight…
Selected topics on halo and molecular states in light, neutron-rich nuclei are discussed. In particular, work on $x\alpha$:X$n$ structures is briefly reviewed. The use of proton radiative capture as a probe of clustering is also presented…
Nuclear clustering describes the appearance of structures resembling smaller nuclei such as alpha particles (4He nuclei) within the interior of a larger nucleus. While clustering is important for several well-known examples, much remains to…
We present the first ab initio coupled-cluster calculations of medium-mass nuclei with explicit chiral three-nucleon (3N) interactions. Using a spherical formulation of coupled cluster with singles and doubles excitations including explicit…
We study the structure of $^9_\Lambda$Be in the framework of three body $\alpha+\alpha+\Lambda$ cluster model using YNG-NF interaction with the Gaussian expansion method. Employing the complex scaling method, we obtain the energies of bound…
We calculate the reaction cross sections for $^6{\rm Li}$ and $^7_{\Lambda}{\rm Li}$ on a $^{12}{\rm C}$ target at $100\,{\rm MeV/nucleon}$ using the Glauber theory. To this end, we assume a two-body cluster structure for $^6$Li and…
Nuclei at both the neutron- and proton-drip lines are studied. In the cluster-core model, the halo-structure of all the observed and proposed cases of neutron- or proton-halos is investigated in terms of simple potential energy surfaces…
We use the three-body model and the sudden approximation to compute angular correlations in high-energy fragmentation reactions of two-neutron halos on light targets. The contribution from one-neutron absorption by far dominates over that…
The standard and renormalized coupled cluster methods with singles, doubles, and noniterative triples and their generalizations to excited states, based on the equation of motion coupled cluster approach, are applied to the He-4 and O-16…
To test a multicluster approach for halo nuclei, we give a unified description for the ground states of $^6$He and $^8$He in a model comprising an $\alpha$ cluster and single-neutron clusters. The intercluster wave function is taken a…
Within a five-particle model (three $\alpha$-particles plus two nucleons), the structure functions of mirror nuclei $^{14}$C and $^{14}$O are studied. Using the variational approach with Gaussian bases, the energies and wave functions are…
Many preceding works have shown in $^{11}$Li the presence of the halo structure comprised of the weakly bound two neutrons around $^9$Li, and it is intriguing to see how this halo structure changes when another $^9$Li approaches. In this…
Multi-center (molecular) structures can play an important role in light nuclei. The highly deformed rotational band in 10Be with band head at 6.179 MeV has been observed recently and suggested to have an exotic alpha:2n:alpha configuration.…
We extend the ab initio no-core shell model/resonating-group method (NCSM/RGM) to projectile-target binary-cluster states where the projectile is a deuteron. We discuss the formalism in detail and give algebraic expressions for the…
We explore the structure of the ground state of $^{20}$Ne by investigating various density profiles. Four candidates for the ground state configurations, (a) $j$-$j$ coupling and (b) SU(3) shell model and (c) $5\alpha$ and (d) $^{16}{\rm…
We investigate the three-body Coulomb breakup of a two-neutron halo nucleus $^{11}$Li. We use the coupled-channel $^9$Li + $n$ + $n$ three-body model, which includes the coupling between last neutron states and the various $2p$-$2h$…
