Potential absence of observed linear-chain structures in O via C() resonant scattering

J. Bishop, A. Hollands, Tz. Kokolova +14

Background: The preference for light nuclear systems to coagulate into -particle clusters has been well-studied. The possibility of a linear chain configuration of -particles…

Cluster structure of 3+p states in N

J. Bishop, G. V. Rogachev, S. Ahn +16

Background: Cluster states in N are extremely difficult to measure due to the unavailability of B+ elastic scattering data. Purpose: Using -delayed charged-parti…

alpha-cluster structure of 18Ne

M. Barbui, A. Volya, E. Aboud +15

In this work we study alpha-clustering in 18Ne and compare it with what is known about clustering in the mirror nucleus 18O. The excitation function of 18Ne was measured in inverse…

Almost medium-free measurement of the Hoyle state direct-decay component with a TPC

J. Bishop, G. V. Rogachev, S. Ahn +14

Background: The structure of the Hoyle state, a highly -clustered state at 7.65 MeV in , has long been the subject of debate. Understanding if the system compri…
