It is shown that the rotational band structure of the cluster states in 12C and 16O can be understood in terms of the underlying discrete symmetry that characterizes the geometrical configuration of the alpha-particles, i.e. an equilateral…
The non-localized cluster model provides a new perspective on nuclear cluster effects and has been applied successfully to study cluster structures in various bound states and quasi-bound states (i.e., long-lived resonant states). In this…

Nucleonic matter displays a quantum liquid structure, but in some cases finite nuclei behave like molecules composed of clusters of protons and neutrons. Clustering is a recurrent feature in light nuclei, from beryllium to nickel. For…
