Description of 8Be as Deformed Gas-Like Two-Alpha-Particle States
In order to study non-zero spin excitations of the recently proposed α-cluster condensation in the self-conjugate 4n nuclei, spatial deformation is introduced into the model wave function of the α-cluster condensate. The rotational band states of 8Be are investigated as a first step of a test case for the study …
