In this article we review the present status of alpha clustering in nuclear systems. First of all, an important aspect is condensation in nuclear matter. Second, the alpha container model, recently been proposed by Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-Roepke (THSR), will be outlined and the ensuing condensate aspect of the Hoyle state at 7.65 MeV in 12C will be investigated in some detail. After 15 years since the proposal of the alpha condensation concept a critical assessment of this idea will be given. Alpha gas states in other nuclei like 16O and 13C will be considered. The THSR wave function can also describe configurations of one alpha particle on top of a doubly magic core. The cases of 20Ne and 212Po will be investigated.

A comparison of pairing properties in cuprates and nuclear matter is briefly discussed. Quartet (alpha-particle) condensation is a very important aspect of nuclear physics. The physics of the Hoyle state in 12 C will be outlined and its crucial role for the existence of life on earth explained.
When the density of a nuclear system is decreased, homogeneous states undergo the so-called Mott transition towards clusterised states, e.g. alpha clustering, both in nuclei and in nuclear matter. Here we investigate such a quantum phase transition (
QPT) by using microscopic energy density functional (EDF) calculations both with the relativistic and the Gogny approaches on the diluted $^{16}$O nucleus. The evolution of the corresponding single-particle spectrum under dilution is studied, and a Mott-like transition is predicted at about 1/3 of the saturation density. Complementary approaches are used in order to understand this QPT. A study of spatial localisation properties as a function of the density allows to derive a value of the Mott density in agreement with the one obtained by fully microscopic calculations in $^{16}$O and in nuclear matter. Moreover a study of the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the rotational group in $^{16}$O, down to the discrete tetrahedral one, provides further insight on the features displayed by the single-particle spectrum obtained within the EDF approach.The content of the tetrahedrally deformed A-nucleon product state in terms of spherical particle-hole configurations is investigated. Finally a study of quartet condensation and the corresponding macroscopic QPT is undertaken in infinite matter.
The Bose-Einstein condensation of $alpha$ partciles in the multicomponent environment of dilute, warm nuclear matter is studied. We consider the cases of matter composed of light clusters with mass numbers $Aleq 4$ and matter that in addition these c
lusters contains $isotope[56]{Fe}$ nuclei. We apply the quasiparticle gas model which treats clusters as bound states with infinite life-time and binding energies independent of temperature and density. We show that the $alpha$ particles can form a condensate at low temperature $Tle 2$ MeV in such matter in the first case. When the $isotope[56]{Fe}$ nucleus is added to the composition the cluster abundances are strongly modified at low temperatures, with an important implication that the $alpha$ condensation at these temperatures is suppressed.
The fragmentation of quasi-projectiles from the nuclear reaction $^{40}Ca$+$^{12}C$ at 25 MeV/nucleon was used to produce excited states candidates to $alpha$-particle condensation. The methodology relies on high granularity 4$pi$ detection coupled t
o correlation function techniques. Under the assumption that the equality among the kinetic energies of the emitted $alpha$-particles and the emission simultaneity constitutes a reliable fingerprint of $alpha$ condensation, we identify several tens of events corresponding to the deexcitation of the Hoyle state of $^{12}$C which fulfill the condition.
The 4He total photoabsorption cross section is calculated with the realistic nucleon-nucleon potential Argonne V18 and the three-nucleon force (3NF) Urbana IX. Final state interaction is included rigorously via the Lorentz Integral Transform method.
A rather pronounced giant resonance with peak cross sections of 3 (3.2) mb is obtained with (without) 3NF. Above 50 MeV strong 3NF effects, up to 35%, are present. Good agreement with experiment is found close to threshold. A comparison in the giant resonance region is inconclusive, since present data do not show a unique picture.
