Clustering Phenomena in Atomic Nuclei

Multi-nucleon correlations or nuclear clusters play an important role in nuclei, often determining the level structure and nuclear reaction cross sections. A better understanding of clustering in nuclei is necessary not only from the fundamental nuclear theory perspective but also from the point of view of nuclear astrophysics. The α-particle-induced reactions, such as α-capture, (α,n) and (α,p), are essential in stellar nucleosynthesis, and they are often dominated by α-cluster degrees of freedom in participating nuclei. In this talk, we will review the experimental evidence for clusters in nuclei, discuss the modern experimental techniques applicable to study clustering and benchmark the theoretical predictions.
