The $^{120}$Sn($p$,$palpha$)$^{116}$Cd reaction at 392 MeV is investigated with the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) framework. We show that this reaction is very peripheral mainly because of the strong absorption of $alpha$ by the reaction residue $^{116}$Cd, and the $alpha$-clustering on the nuclear surface can be probed clearly. We investigate also the validity of the so-called factorization approximation that has frequently been used so far. It is shown that the kinematics of $alpha$ in the nuclear interior region is significantly affected by the distortion of $^{116}$Cd, but it has no effect on the reaction observables because of the strong absorption in that region.

The formation of $alpha$ particle on nuclear surface has been a fundamental problem since the early age of nuclear physics. It strongly affects the $alpha$ decay lifetime of heavy and superheavy elements, level scheme of light nuclei, and the synthes is of the elements in stars. However, the $alpha$-particle formation in medium-mass nuclei has been poorly known despite its importance. Here, based on the $^{48}{rm Ti}(p,palpha)^{44}{rm Ca}$ reaction analysis, we report that the $alpha$-particle formation in a medium-mass nucleus $^{48}{rm Ti}$ is much stronger than that expected from a mean-field approximation, and the estimated average distance between $alpha$ particle and the residue is as large as 4.5 fm. This new result poses a challenge of describing four nucleon correlations by microscopic nuclear models.
The proton-induced $alpha$ knockout reaction has been utilized for decades to investigate the $alpha$ cluster states of nuclei, of the ground state in particular. However, even in recent years, it is reported that the deduced $alpha$ spectroscopic fa ctors from $alpha$ knockout experiments and reaction analyses with a phenomenological $alpha$ cluster wave function diverge depending on the kinematical condition of the reaction. In the present study we examine the theoretical description of the $^{20}$Ne($p$,$palpha$)$^{16}$O cross section based on the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics and the distorted wave impulse approximation by comparing with existing experimental data. We also investigate the correspondence between the $alpha$ cluster wave function and the $alpha$ knockout cross section. The existing $^{20}$Ne($p$,$palpha$)$^{16}$O data at 101.5 MeV is well reproduced by the present framework. Due to the peripherality of the reaction, the surface region of the cluster wave function is selectively reflected to the knockout cross section. A quantitatively reliable $alpha$ cluster wave function, $p$-$alpha$ cross section, and distorting potentials between scattering particles, $alpha$-$^{16}$O in particular, are crucial for the quantitative description of the ($p$,$palpha$) cross section. Due to the peripherality of the reaction, the ($p$,$palpha$) cross section is a good probe for the surface $alpha$ amplitude.
Direct evidence of the $alpha$-cluster manifestation in bound states has not been obtained yet, although a number of experimental studies were carried out to extract the information of the clustering. In particular in conventional analyses of $alpha$ -transfer reactions, there exist a few significant problems on reaction models, which are insufficient to qualitatively discuss the cluster structure. We aim to verify the development of the $alpha$-cluster structure from observables. As the first application, we plan to extract the spatial information of the cluster structure of the $^{20}$Ne nucleus in its ground state through the cross section of the $alpha$-transfer reaction $^{16}$O($^6$Li,~$d$)$^{20}$Ne. For the analysis of the transfer reaction, we work with the coupled-channel Born approximation (CCBA) approach, in which the breakup effect of $^6$Li is explicitly taken into account by means of the continuum-discretized coupled-channel method based on the three-body $alpha + d + {}^{16}$O model. The two methods are adopted to calculate the overlap function between $^{20}$Ne and $alpha + {}^{16}$O; one is the microscopic cluster model (MCM) with the generator coordinate method, and the other is the phenomenological two-body potential model (PM). We show that the CCBA calculation with the MCM wave function gives a significant improvement of the theoretical result on the angular distribution of the transfer cross section, which is consistent with the experimental data. Employing the PM, it is discussed which region of the cluster wave function is probed on the transfer cross section. It is found that the surface region of the cluster wave function is sensitive to the cross section. The present work is situated as the first step in obtaining important information to systematically investigate the cluster structure.
We have investigated the heaviest one-neutron halo candidate C-19 nucleus. Few-body model calculations of cross section angular distributions for the C-19(p,d)C-18 reaction, together with the test calculations carried out for the C-17(p,d)C-16 reacti on, at a low incident energy are presented for different possible halo-neutron configurations. We show that there is a clear distinction between in particular $ell_{n}=0$ and $ell_{n}=2$ halo transfers. The sensitivity of the cross sections to the assumed C-19 single neutron separation energy is discussed.

A measurement of the pp --> p p eta reaction at the excess energy of Q = 15.5 +- 0.4 MeV has been carried out at the internal beam facility COSY-11 with an integrated luminosity of 811 nb^-1 The number of ~24000 identified events permits a precise de termination of total (2.32 +- 0.05 +- 0.35 mu b) and differential cross sections. Preliminary investigations show that the angular distribution of the eta meson in the center-of-mass system is isotropic. A qualitative analysis of the Dalitz-plot distribution is presented.
