The energy level structure of ${}^{12}$C nucleus at a few MeV above the three-$\alpha$ threshold is still unsatisfactory known. For instance, most microscopic calculations predicted that there exist one $0^+$-state in this energy region…

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…
