Coupling of cluster and deformed structures are important for dynamics of nuclear structure. Threshold energy has been discussed to explain cluster structures coupling to deformed states but relation between threshold energy and excitation energy has open problems. Negative-parity superdeformed (SD) states were observed by a $gamma$-spectroscopy experiment in $^{35}$Cl but its detailed structure is unclear. By analyzing coupling of cluster structures in deformed states and high-lying cluster states in $^{35}$Cl, cluster structures coupling to deformed states and excitation energy of high-lying cluster states are investigated. The antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) and the generator coordinate method (GCM) are used. An AMD wave function is a Slater determinant of Gaussian wave packets. By energy variational calculations with constraints on deformation and clustering, wave functions of deformed structures and $alpha$- and $t$-cluster structures are obtained. Adopting those wave functions as GCM basis, wave functions of ground and excited states are calculated. Various deformed bands are obtained and predicted. A $K^pi = frac{1}{2}^-$ deformed band, which corresponds to the observed SD band, dominates deformed structure and compact $alpha$- and $t$-cluster structure components. Particle-hole configurations of the dominant components with deformed and cluster structures are similar. In high-lying states, almost pure $alpha$- and $t$-cluster states are obtained in negative-parity states, and excitation energies of the $t$-cluster states are higher than those of $alpha$-cluster states. In conclusions, particle-hole configurations of cluster structure with small intercluster distance are important for coupling to low-energy deformed states. Threshold energies reflect to excitation energies of high-lying almost pure cluster states.

The coexistence of various low-lying deformed states in $^{42}$Ca and $alpha$--$^{38}$Ar correlations in those deformed states have been investigated using deformed-basis antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. Wave functions of the low-lying states are obtained via parity and angular momentum projections and the generator coordinate method (GCM). Basis wave functions of the GCM calculation are obtained via energy variations with constraints on the quadrupole deformation parameter $beta$ and the distance between $alpha$ and $^{38}$Ar clusters. The rotational band built on the $J^pi = 0_2^+$ (1.84 MeV) state as well as the $J^pi = 0_3^+$ (3.30 MeV) state are both reproduced. The coexistence of two additional $K^pi = 0^+$ rotational bands is predicted; one band is shown to be built on the $J^pi = 0_3^+$ state. Members of the ground-state band and the rotational band built on the $J^pi = 0_3^+$ state contain $alpha$--$^{38}$Ar cluster structure components.
The interplay between the formation of neutron skin and alpha cluster at the dilute surface of neutron-rich nuclei is one of the interesting subjects in the study of neutron-rich nuclei and nuclear clustering. A theoretical model has predicted that the growth of neutron skin will prevent the alpha clustering at the nuclear surface. Quite recently, this theoretical perspective; the suppression of alpha clustering by the neutron-skin formation was first confirmed experimentally in Sn isotopes as the reduction of the (p, p alpha) reaction cross-section. Motivated by the novel discovery, in this work, we have investigated the relationship between the neutron-skin thickness and alpha clustering in C isotopes. Based on the analysis by the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics, we show that the alpha spectroscopic factor at nuclear exterior decreases in neutron-rich C isotopes, and the clustering suppression looks correlated with the growth of the neutron-skin thickness.
Model-independent constraints for the neutron-triton and proton-Helium-3 scattering lengths are calculated with a leading-order interaction derived from an effective field theory without explicit pions. Using the singlet neutron-proton scattering length, the deuteron, and the triton binding energy as input, the predictions $ants=9.2pm2.6 $fm, $antt=7.6pm1.6 $fm, $aphes=3.6pm0.32 $fm, and $aphet=3.1pm 0.23 $fm are obtained. The calculations employ the resonating group method and include the Coulomb interaction when appropriate. The theoretical uncertainty is assessed via a variation of the regulator parameter of the short-distance interaction from $400 $MeV to $1.6 $GeV. The phase-shift and scattering-length results for the proton-Helium-3 system are consistent with a recent phase shift analysis and with model calculations. For neutron-triton, the results for the scattering lengths in both singlet and triplet channels are significantly smaller than suggested by R-matrix and partial-wave-analysis extractions from data. For a better understanding of this discrepancy, the sensitivity of the low-energy four-body scattering system to variations in the neutron-neutron and proton-proton two-nucleon scattering lengths is calculated. Induced by strong charge-symmetry-breaking contact interactions, this dependence is found insignificant. In contrast, a strong correlation between the neutron-triton scattering length and the triton binding energy analogous to the Phillips line is found.
Collisions of light and heavy nuclei in relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been shown to be sensitive to nuclear structure. With a proposed $^{16}mathrm{O}^{16}mathrm{O}$ run at the LHC and RHIC we study the potential for finding $alpha$ clustering in $^{16}$O. Here we use the state-of-the-art iEBE-VISHNU package with $^{16}$O nucleonic configurations from {rm ab initio} nuclear lattice simulations. This setup was tuned using a Bayesian analysis on pPb and PbPb systems. We find that the $^{16}mathrm{O}^{16}mathrm{O}$ system always begins far from equilibrium and that at LHC and RHIC it approaches the regime of hydrodynamic applicability only at very late times. Finally, by taking ratios of flow harmonics we are able to find measurable differences between $alpha$-clustering, nucleonic, and subnucleonic degrees of freedom in the initial state.
The proton-proton momentum correlation function is constructed in three-body photo-disintegration channels from $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O targets in the quasi-deuteron regime within the framework of an extended quantum molecular dynamics model. Using the formula of Lednicky and Lyuboshitz (LL) for the momentum correlation function, we obtain a proton-proton momentum correlation function for the specific three-body photon-disintegration channels of $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O targets, which are assumed to have different initial geometric structures, and extract their respective emission source sizes for the proton-proton pair. The results demonstrate that constructing a proton-proton momentum correlation is feasible in photo-nuclear reactions, and it is sensitive to the initial nuclear structure. For future experimental studies investigating the $alpha$-clustering structures of light nuclei, the present work can be used to shed light on the performance and correlation function analysis of ($gamma$,pp) or (e,$e$pp) reactions.
