Present status of nuclear cluster physics and experimental perspectives
Abstract
Knowledge on nuclear cluster physics has increased considerably as nuclear clustering remains one of the most fruitful domains of nuclear physics, facing some of the greatest challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. The occurrence of "exotic" shapes in light N=Z alpha-like nuclei and the evolution of clustering from stability to the drip-lines are being investigated more and more accurately both theoretically and experimentally. Experimental progresses in understanding these questions were recently examined and will be further revisited in this introductory talk: clustering aspects are, in particular, discussed for light exotic nuclei with a large neutron excess such as neutron-rich Oxygen isotopes with their complete spectrocopy.
