The low lying states in $^8$Be are believed to have a two-alpha cluster structure and hence a large intrinsic quadrupole deformation. An earlier calculation showed a large collective enhancement in gamma transition probability between the…
Inelastic $\alpha$ scattering on 16O is studied at 400 MeV by using an ice target. Near the 4-alpha breakup threshold of 14.4 MeV, a broad peak is observed at an excitation energy of 13.6+/-0.2 MeV with a width of 0.6+/-0.2 MeV. The…
Odd-odd 136Cs nuclei have been produced in the 18O + 208Pb and 12C + 238U fusion-fission reactions and their gamma rays studied with the Euroball array. The high-spin level scheme has been built up to ~ 4.7 MeV excitation energy and spin I…
When two heavy ions near the Fermi energy collide, a warm and low-density region can form in which fragments appear. This region is mainly dominated by proton (p) and alpha particles. In such an environment, the alphas interact with each…

The four nucleons in $^8$Li outside the $\alpha$-particle ($\alpha=^4$He) can be divided into pairs of one neutron ($n$) and 3 nucleons in the triton ($t=^3$H), or 2 in the deuteron ($d=^2$H) and two neutrons in a dineutron ($^2n$). The…
