NUCLEAR ALPHA-CLUSTERING, SUPERDEFORMATION, AND QUASIMOLECULAR RESONANCES
NUCLEAR ALPHA-CLUSTERING, SUPERDEFORMATION, AND QUASIMOLECULAR RESONANCES
Nuclear alpha-clustering has been the subject of intense study since the advent of heavy-ion accelerators. Looking back for more than 40 years we are able today to see the connection between quasimolecular resonances in heavy-ion collisions and extremely deformed states in light nuclei. For example superdeformed bands have been recently …
