Recently, we have determined surface distributions of $\alpha$ clusters in the ground state of $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$ from $\alpha$-transfer cross sections, without investigating the properties of its excited states. In this paper we extend our…
The experimental angular distributions for 20Ne+16O elastic transfer are reanalyzed using different forms of potential both phenomenological and semi-microscopic. The significant increase in cross sections at backward hemisphere due to the…
The proton-induced $\alpha$ knockout reaction has been utilized for decades to investigate the $\alpha$ cluster states of nuclei, of the ground state in particular. However, even in recent years, it is reported that the deduced $\alpha$…
We introduce a new framework for studying clustering and for calculating alpha partial widths using ab initio wave functions. We demonstrate the formalism for $^{20}$Ne, by calculating the overlap between the $^{16}$O$+\alpha$ cluster…
The initial-state geometry in relativistic heavy-ion collisions provides a novel probe to nuclear cluster structure. For $^{20}$Ne, a novel approach is proposed to distinguish between the cluster configurations (5$\alpha$ versus $\alpha +…
Background: Whether or not the $\alpha$ ($^4$He nucleus) clustering exists in the medium-mass region of nuclear systems is a fundamental and intriguing question. However, the recent analysis of the $\alpha$ knockout reaction on $^{48}$Ti…
Our goal is to reveal how the $\alpha$ cluster amplitude is probed through $\alpha$ knockout reactions depending on reaction conditions, e.g., the incident energy. We consider $^{20}$Ne($p$,$p\alpha$)$^{16}$O and…
Background. Many important $\alpha$-particle induced reactions for nuclear astrophysics may only be measured using indirect techniques due to small cross sections at the energy of interest. One of such indirect technique, is to determine…
A transfer reaction and cluster-decay experiment, $^{12}$C($^{16}$O,$^{24}$Mg$\rightarrow$$\alpha$+$^{20}$Ne)$\alpha$, was performed at a beam energy of 96 MeV. Both recoil and decay $\alpha$ particles were detected in coincidence, allowing…
We report on the first \textit{ab initio} informed $\alpha$ knock-out reaction in the intermediate-mass region, with the aim to probe the underlying chiral potential and its impact on the emergence of alpha clustering in this mass region.…
This work presents a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the nuclear reaction $^{6}$Li + $^{12}$C at a laboratory energy of 68 MeV. The reaction products are identified via the standard $\Delta$E-E technique. Angular…
An approximate but straight forward projection method to molecular many alpha-particle states is proposed and the overlap to the shell model space is determined. The resulting space is in accordance with the shell model, but still contains…
Subbarrier alpha transfer reaction 13C(6Li,d)17O(6.356 MeV, 1/2+) at 3.6 MeV is analyzed with a alpha + d + 13C three-body model, and the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) for alpha + 13C --> 17O(6.356 MeV, 1/2+), which essentially…
In this work we study alpha-clustering in 18Ne and compare it with what is known about clustering in the mirror nucleus 18O. The excitation function of 18Ne was measured in inverse kinematics from the resonant elastic scattering reaction of…
$^{20}$Ne has been known as a typical example of a nucleus with $\alpha$ cluster structure ($^{16}$O+$\alpha$ structure). However according to the spherical shell model, the spin-orbit interaction acts attractively for four nucleons outside…
Background: The understanding of nuclear reactions between light nuclei at energies below the Coulomb barrier is important for several astrophysical processes, but their study poses experimental and theoretical challenges. At sufficiently…
The study of inelastic scattering and multi-nucleon transfer reactions was performed by bombarding a $^{9}$Be target with a $^3$He beam at an incident energy of 30 MeV. Angular distributions for $^9$Be($^3$He,$^3$He)$^{9}$Be,…
Background: Proton-induced {\alpha}-knockout reactions empower direct experimental manifestations of {\alpha}-clustering in nuclei. This is obtained by relating the theoretical descriptions of clustering states with experimental reaction…
There is a deep astrophysical interest in the structure of $^{19}$F states close to the alpha decay threshold. The nuclear structure of these states is important for understanding of the development of $\alpha$ clustering in the $^{20}$Ne…
Excitation energy spectra and absolute cross section angular distributions were measured for the 13C(18O,16O)15C two-neutron transfer reaction at 84 MeV incident energy. This reaction selectively populates two-neutron configurations in the…
