Abstract. The28 Si+α cluster structure was studied. We construct the 28 Si+α cluster model, where structure change of the 28 Si core and the α-cluster breaking are taken into account. It was found that, in the 28 Si+α cluster system having α-cluster at the surface of the 28 Si core, the structure change of the 28 Si core is energetically rather important while the α-cluster breaking is not significant.
IntroductionThe nuclear clustering plays important roles in ground and excited states of light nuclei. Excited states having core+α cluster structure called the α-cluster excited state are known to exist in such nuclei as [5,6]. In order to understand structure of the 28 Si+α excited states by solving the core-α relative motion, it is important to take into account the structure change of the core nuclei and the breaking of the α-cluster at the nuclear surface. However, in conventional cluster models, inner clusters are usually assumed and the cluster excitation effects are not considered. Our final goal is to study the 28 Si+α excited states of 32 S. To this end, for the first step, we investigate the structure change of the 28 Si core and the α-cluster breaking in the 28 Si+α cluster structure.
