Cluster structures in Oxygen isotopes


Abstract in English

Cluster structure of 16O,18O and 20O is investigated by the antisymmettrized molecular dynamics (AMD) plus generator coordinate method (GCM). We have found the K^{pi}=0$_2^+$ and 0$_1^-$ rotational bands of 18O that have the prominent 14C+alpha cluster structure. Clustering systematics becomes richer in 20O. We suggest the K^{pi}=0$_2^+$ band that is the mixture of the 12C+alpha+4n and 14C+6He cluster structures, and the K^{pi}=0$_1^-$ band that has the 14C+6He cluster structure. The K^{pi}=0$_3^+$ and 0$_2^-$ bands that have the prominent 16C+alpha cluster structure are also found.
