The role of discrete (or point-group) symmetries is discussed in the framework of the Cluster Shell Model which describes the splitting of single-particle levels in the deformed field of cluster potentials. We discuss the classification of the eigenstates for the cases of a triangular and tetrahedral configuration of alpha-particles in terms of the irreducible representations of the double point groups D(3h) and T(d), respectively, and show how the discrete symmetry of a given eigenstate can be determined. Finally, we derive the Coriolis coupling for each one of these geometrical configurations.

In this contribution, we present the cluster shell model which is analogous to the Nilsson model, but for cluster potentials. Special attention is paid to the consequences of the discrete symmetries of three alpha-particles in an equilateral triangle configuration. This configuration is characterized by a special structure of the rotational bands which can be used as a fingerprint of the underlying geometric configuration. The cluster shell model is applied to the nucleus 13C.
It is shown that the rotational band structure of the cluster states in 12C and 16O can be understood in terms of the underlying discrete symmetry that characterizes the geometrical configuration of the alpha-particles, i.e. an equilateral triangle for 12C, and a regular tetrahedron for 16O. The structure of rotational bands provides a fingerprint of the underlying geometrical configuration of alpha-particles. Finally, some first results are presented for odd-cluster nuclei.
The antisymmetrized quasi-cluster model (AQCM) is a method to describe a transition from the alpha-cluster wave function to the jj-coupling shell model wave function. In this model, the cluster-shell transition is characterized by only two parameters; R representing the distance between alpha clusters and Lambda describing the breaking of alpha clusters, and the contribution of the spin-orbit interaction, very important in the jj-coupling shell model, can be taken into account starting with the alpha cluster model wave function. In this article we show the generality of AQCM by extending the application to heavier region; various 4N nuclei from 4He to 52Fe. We show and compare the energy curves for the alpha+40Ca cluster configuration calculated with and without alpha breaking effect in 44Ti.
In the present work we have reported comprehensive analysis of recently available experimental data [H.M. David et al., Phys. Lett. B {bf 726}, 665 (2013)] for high-spin states up to $17^+$ with $T=0$ in the odd-odd $N=Z$ nucleus $^{62}$Ga using shell model calculations within the full $f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}$ model space and deformed shell model based on Hartee-Fock intrinsic states in the same space. The calculations have been performed using jj44b effective interaction developed recently by B.A. Brown and A.F. Lisetskiy for this model space. The results obtained with the two models are similar and they are in reasonable agreement with experimental data. In addition to the $T=0$ and $T=1$ energy bands, band crossings and electromagnetic transition probabilities, we have also calculated the pairing energy in shell model and all these compare well with the available theoretical results.
The uncertainty quantifications of theoretical results are of great importance to make meaningful comparisons of those results with experimental data and to make predictions in experimentally unknown regions. By quantifying uncertainties, one can make more solid statements about, e.g., origins of discrepancy in some quantities between theory and experiment. We propose a novel method for uncertainty quantification for the effective interactions of nuclear shell-model calculations as an example. The effective interaction is specified by a set of parameters, and its probability distribution in the multi-dimensional parameter space is considered. This enables us to quantify the agreement with experimental data in a statistical manner and the resulting confidence intervals show unexpectedly large variations. Moreover, we point out that a large deviation of the confidence interval for the energy in shell-model calculations from the corresponding experimental data can be used as an indicator of some exotic property, e.g. alpha clustering, etc. Other possible applications and impacts are also discussed.
