Simple generic aspects of nuclear pairing in homogeneous medium as well as in finite nuclei are discussed. It is argued that low-energy nuclear structure is not sensitive enough to resolve fine details of nuclear nucleon-nucleon (NN)…
In nuclear cluster systems, a rigorous structural forbiddenness of virtual nuclear division into unexcited fragments is obtained. We re-analyze the concept of forbiddenness, introduced in Ref. 1 for the understanding of structural effects…
We argue that relativistic nuclear collisions may provide experimental evidence of alpha clustering in light nuclei. A light alpha-clustered nucleus has a large intrinsic deformation. When collided against a heavy nucleus at very high…
