$\alpha$ and triton clustering in ${}^{35}$Cl

Abstract

Coupling of cluster and deformed structures are important for dynamics of nuclear structure. Threshold energy has been discussed to explain cluster structures coupling to deformed states but relation between threshold energy and excitation energy has open problems. Negative-parity superdeformed (SD) states were observed by a $\gamma$-spectroscopy experiment in ${}^{35}$Cl but its detailed structure is unclear. By analyzing coupling of cluster structures in deformed states and high-lying cluster states in ${}^{35}$Cl, cluster structures coupling to deformed states and excitation energy of high-lying cluster states are investigated. The antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) and the generator coordinate method (GCM) are used. An AMD wave function is a Slater determinant of Gaussian wave packets. By energy variational calculations with constraints on deformation and clustering, wave functions of deformed structures and $\alpha$- and $t$-cluster structures are obtained. Adopting those wave functions as GCM basis, wave functions of ground and excited states are calculated. Various deformed bands are obtained and predicted. A $K^{\pi }={\frac{1}{2}}^{-}$ deformed band, which corresponds to the observed SD band, dominates deformed structure and compact $\alpha$- and $t$-cluster structure components. Particle-hole configurations of the dominant components with deformed and cluster structures are similar. In high-lying states, almost pure $\alpha$- and $t$-cluster states are obtained in negative-parity states, and excitation energies of the $t$-cluster states are higher than those of $\alpha$-cluster states. In conclusions, particle-hole configurations of cluster structure with small intercluster distance are important for coupling to low-energy deformed states. Threshold energies reflect to excitation energies of high-lying almost pure cluster states.
