The proton-induced $\alpha$ knockout reaction, ($p,p\alpha$), is a powerful probe of the $\alpha$ formation in the nucleus [1]. We have shown that a modern theoretical calculation of the $\alpha$ amplitude in the $^{20}$Ne ground state combined with the ($p,p\alpha$) reaction calculation by the distorted wave impulse approximation can quantitatively reproduce the existing experimental data...
Formation of clusters in nuclei is a topic of great interest and fundamental importance throughout the history of nuclear physics. In light nuclei, development of cluster structure in states close to the corresponding decay threshold is a well established phenomenon, and significant progress has been made in search for novel cluster states in light nuclei, such as the α-condensate states (e.g...
Quasi free scattering in inverse kinematics is a powerful tool allowing to explore the nuclear landscape at its outskirts.
The inverse kinematics allows the full detection of weakly and strong bound states in complete kinematics (1) through the detection of gammas and particle unstable states through the invariant mass method.
The ALADiN-LAND reaction setup fed by the FRS fragment...
