For more than half a century, the structure of $^{12}$C, such as the ground band, has been understood to be well described by the three $\alpha$ cluster model based on a geometrical crystalline picture. On the contrary, recently it has been…

A cluster-transfer experiment of $^9\rm{Be}(^9\rm{Be},^{14}\rm{C}\rightarrow\alpha+^{10}\rm{Be})\alpha$ at an incident energy of 45 MeV was carried out in order to investigate the molecular structure in high-lying resonant states in…
A great deal of research work has been undertaken in alpha-clustering study since the pioneering discovery of 12C+12C molecular resonances half a century ago. Our knowledge on physics of nuclear molecules has increased considerably and…

The 3$\alpha$ decay of the 16.62\,MeV (2$^-$, T=1) resonance in $^{12}$C has been studied for nearly a century starting with one of the first nuclear reaction studies at the Cavendish Laboratory in the 1930s. In the hitherto latest study…
Background: Searching for alpha condensation around a core nucleus, a new class of nuclear clustering, is an interesting topic. Previous theoretical studies predicted 16O + 2$\alpha$ condensed states. However, in those studies, the strong…
