Purpose of the present study
• Construction of an unified model which can express both shell and cluster structures
• To show that the cluster structure becomes more important in neutron-rich nuclei ( weakly bound systems )
![Page 3: Cluster-shell Competition in Light Nuclei](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d0b550346895da6baef/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The first step of the construction of the Unified model is
to establish the description of excess nucleons around clusters
Molecular-Orbit is a bridge from Cluster model to Unified model
8Be ( α-α) - core caseα α
We can make a connection from the cluster physics to the physics of Neutron-rich nuclei

The MO approach in nuclear physics“Molecular Viewpoints in Nuclear Structure”J.A. Wheeler, Physical Review 52 (1937)
Applied to 9Be in 1973 Y. Abe, J. Hiura, and H. Tanaka, P.T.P. 49(application of LCAO-SCF method to nuclear systems)
Systematic Analyses of the Be isotopesM. Seya, M. Kohno, and S. Nagata, P.T.P. 65 (1981) π- and σ-orbits are described as linear combination of p-orbits (Gaussian around each α-cluster with zero distance)

The significance of present analysis on Be isotopes
• The application of MO to nuclear systems has been done
on a large-scale (the idea itself has existed for a long time).• It is shown once again that cluster physics is closely related
to the physics of unstable nuclei
( importance of cluster structure in neutron-rich nuclei )• Now the research is extended to more exotic clusters with
excess neutrons
![Page 8: Cluster-shell Competition in Light Nuclei](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d0b550346895da6baef/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Significance of the present analysis on C isotopes
• We have re-realized the difference between atomic physics and nuclear physics.
In general, it is difficult to stabilize the linear-chain configuration of 3α
But there is possibilities when excess neutrons rotate around the core
• Experiments have been done, and some candidates are already observed.

MO is a good tool to describe the wave nature of valence neutrons
around the cluster core
But… Number of Slater determinant is huge
Ex. 84 = 4096
Even if the core-degree of freedom is fixed

AMD – Superposition of Selected Snapshots (AMD triple S)
• We superpose many AMD wave functions• They are randomly generated, and cooling equatio
n is applied only for the imaginary part (spin-orbit contribution is incorporated)
• We use the idea of Stochastic Variation Method ( Suzuki, Varga … ) for the selection of the basis

Cluster-shell competition
RANK II Tensor
Tensor interaction is renormalized
in the central part and the spin orbit part
This should be explicitly treated
in weakly bound systems

Conclusion
• Molecular-orbit is a good tool to describe the cluster structure of neutron-rich nuclei.
• To investigate heavier nuclei, we have introduced new AMD method (AMD triple-S), and the previous MO results are justified using large model space.
• The spin-orbit interaction plays a crucial role for the cluster-shell competiton.
• Tensor term is incorporated but we really need to fix the interaction.
