Nucleus is essentially composed of protons and neutrons, which are commonly known as
nucleons. Interestingly, some of nucleons may group together and exhibit collective …

In this review, we discuss recent advancements in the study of clustering phenomena
occurring in light nuclei, and their influence on nuclear structure, dynamics, and …

We conducted the coincidence measurement of α particles inelastically scattered from 20 Ne
at 0° and decay charged particles in order to search for the alpha-particle condensed state …

We searched for the 6α-condensed state in 24 Mg by measuring the C 12+ 12 C scattering
with the SAKRA Si detector array at E cm= 17.5–25.0 MeV. By using the invariant-mass …

Oxygen (16 O) ions are planned to be injected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in its next
runs, and a day of physics run is anticipated for O+ O collisions at s NN= 7 TeV. As the …

α clustering in nuclei is considered with the quartet model (QM) where four valence
nucleons (the quartet) move on the top of the core (daughter) nucleus. In the QM approach, it …

An experiment of 12 C (16 O, 16 O→ 4 α) 12 C was performed at a beam energy of 96 MeV.
A large number of 4-α events were recorded in coincidence and with full particle …

Results are presented on the identification of the unstable nuclei^ 8 8 Be and^ 9 9 B and the
Hoyle state (HS) in the relativistic dissociation of the isotopes^ 9 9 Be,^ 10 10 B,^ 10 10 C …

The equation of state and phase diagram of strongly interacting matter composed of α
particles are studied in the mean-field approximation. The particle interactions are included …

The Hoyle analogue state in^ 16 16 O was explored by inelastic scattering of 45 MeV α α s
on a Mylar target. The break up 4 α α s of^ 16 16 O have been detected in coincidence with …
