Description
Nuclear clustering refers to the appearance of multi-nucleon localized structures, predominately under the form of α particles, within the interior of a nucleus. The detailed understanding of how quantum correlations among nucleons give rise to nuclear clustering is still lacking, the main difficulty being the need to a priori include four-nucleon correlations.
Using the Energy Density Functional framework, conditions for the emergence of clusters are analyzed and spectroscopic signatures of these structures are discussed.
