Recent experiments clearly demonstrate the importance of the excited state $2^+$ at 1.8 MeV in the substruture ${^6}He$ for the ground state of the nucleus ${^8}He$. It is shown here that this means that the ground state structure of…

Background: The four-neutron correlation has been attracting much attention for decades. In addition to the study on the tetra-neutron system, it is worthwhile to investigate the correlation in bound systems. Purpose: The $^8$He nucleus is…

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…

It is shown that the hole in the centre of $ ^{3}H $, $ ^{3}He $ and $ ^{4}He $, the neutron halos in nuclei, the $ \alpha - $ and other clustering effects in nuclei and the nuclear molecules all basically arise due to the same underlying…
The hyper-radial barrier strongly hinders formation of more than three clusters. We investigate how well the dominating cluster components in $^7$He and $^8$He, respectively can be described as $\alpha$+$n$+$^2n$ and $\alpha$+$^2n$+$^2n$,…
The possibility of the $^8$He and $^{9}$Li clusters in atomic nuclei is discussed. Until now most of the clusters in the conventional models have been limited to the closures of the three-dimensional harmonic oscillators, such as $^4$He,…
The halo nuclei $^6$He and $^8$He are described in a consistent way in a microscopic multiconfiguration model, the refined resonating group method. The ground state properties have been calculated, and momentum distributions of fragments…
In order to study the bound-state structure of the Helium halo nuclei, the 8-nucleon Yakubovsky formalism has been implemented for 8He in a 5-body sub-cluster model, i.e. alpha+n+n+n+n. In this case, the 8-nucleon Yakubovsky equations has…
Clustering is a relatively widespread phenomena which takes on many guises across the nuclear landscape. Selected topics concerning the study of halo systems and clustering in light, neutron-rich nuclei are discussed here through…

Data for the scattering of 6He, 8He, 9Li, and 11Li from hydrogen are analyzed within a fully microscopic folding model of proton-nucleus scattering. Current data suggest that of these only 11Li has a noticeable halo. For 6He, we have also…
The $0_2^+$ state of ${}^8\mathrm{He}$ has been discovered by a recent experiment, which suggested a developed cluster structure of spatially correlated neutron pairs, called "dineutrons" (${}^2n$). We aim to investigate the structure of…
