Clustering has long been known to be influential in the structure of ground and excited
states of N= Z nuclei. States close to the decay thresholds are of particular interest, as …

Recent developments of physics of nuclear clustering are discussed. Our discussions are
mostly focussed on structural problems because the characteristic feature of the recent …

We combine a recently developed ab initio many-body approach capable of describing
simultaneously both bound and scattering states, the ab initio no-core shell …

We present a review of recent works on clustering phenomena in unstable nuclei studied by
antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD). The AMD studies in these decades have …

This article aims at covering various low energy nuclear physics themes that can benefit
from taking advantage of active targets and time projection chambers. They are naturally …

Focusing on α clustering, the structure of Ne 22 was studied. We predict the presence of the
molecular orbital bands that have an α+ O 16 cluster core surrounded by two neutrons …

An excitation function for resonance elastic scattering of α particles on O 18 and Ne 18 was
measured using the method of inverse geometry with a very thick target. Spectroscopic …

We investigate the clustering effects in light mass N= Z and N≠ Z composite systems Ne*
20, Si* 28, Ca* 40 and Ne* 21, 22, K* 39, respectively, formed in low-energy heavy ion …

We propose a simple method to approximately evaluate the reduced width amplitude (RWA)
of a two-body spinless cluster channel using the norm overlap with the Brink–Bloch cluster …

Isobaric analog states of He 7 have been investigated by a novel technique involving the
observation of the resonant yield of neutrons from the He 6 (p, n) reaction in coincidence …
