Experimental measurements of break-up reactions to study alpha clustering in carbon-12 and beryllium-9
Due to the high binding energy of the α-particle, this object can preform in heavier atomic nuclei. This work explores α-clustering in ⁹Be and ¹²C by measuring their nuclear break-up. For ⁹Be, it has been proposed that the two α-particles of the unstable ⁸Be nucleus are bound together by a covalentl...
