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 synthesis 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.
{bf Background:} Using the chiral (Kyushu) $g$-matrix folding model with the densities calculated with GHFB+AMP, we determined $r_{rm skin}^{208}=0.25$fm from the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ of p+$^{208}$Pb scattering in $E_{rm in}=40-81$MeV. Th
e high-resolution $E1$ polarizability experiment ($E1$pE) yields $r_{rm skin}^{48}(E1{rm pE}) =0.14-0.20$fm. The data on $sigma_{rm R}$ are available as a function of $E_{rm in}$ for $p$+$^{48}$Ca scattering. {bf Aim:} Our aim is to determine $r_{rm skin}^{48}$ from the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ for $p$+$^{48}$Ca scattering by using the folding model. {bf Results:} As for $^{48}$Ca, we determine $r_n(E1{rm pE})=3.56$fm from the central value 0.17fm of $r_{rm skin}^{48}(E1{rm pE})$ and $r_p({rm EXP})=3.385$fm of electron scattering, and evaluate $r_m(E1{rm pE})=3.485$fm from the $r_n(E1{rm pE})$ and the $r_p({rm EXP})$ of electron scattering. The folding model with GHFB+AMP densities reproduces $sigma_{rm R}$ in $23 leq E_{rm in} leq 25.3$ MeV in one-$sigma$ level, but slightly overestimates the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ there. In $23 leq E_{rm in} leq 25.3$MeV, the small deviation allows us to scale the GHFB+AMP densities to the central values of $r_p({rm EXP})$ and $r_n(E1{rm pE})$. The $sigma_{rm R}(E1{rm pE})$ obtained with the scaled densities almost reproduce the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ when $E_{rm in}=23-25.3$MeV, so that the $sigma_{rm R}({rm GHFB+AMP})$ and the $sigma_{rm R}(E1{rm pE})$ are in 1-$sigma$ of $sigma_{rm R}$ there. In $E_{rm in}=23-25.3$MeV, we determine the $r_{m}({rm EXP})$ from the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ and take the average for the $r_{m}({rm EXP})$. The averaged value is $r_{m}({rm EXP})=3.471$fm. Eventually, we obtain $r_{rm skin}^{48}({rm EXP})=0.146$fm from $r_{m}({rm EXP})=3.471$fm and $r_p({rm EXP})=3.385$fm.
We present calculations of the invariant mass spectra of the $Lambda$p system for the exclusive $p p to K^+ Lambda p$ reaction with the aim of studying the final state interaction between the $Lambda$-hyperon and the proton. The reaction is described
within a meson exchange framework and the final state $Lambda p$ interaction is incorporated through an off-shell t-matrix for the $Lambda p to Lambda p$ scattering, constructed using the available hyperon-nucleon (YN) potentials. The cross sections are found to be sensitive to the type of YN potential used especially at the $Lambda$ and $Sigma$ production thresholds. Hence, data on this exclusive reaction, which can be used to constrain the YN potentials are desirable.
The $alpha$ particle preformation in the even-even nuclei from $^{108}$Te to $^{294}$118 and the penetration probability have been studied. The isotopes from Pb to U have been firstly investigated since the experimental data allow us to extract the m
icroscopic features for each element. The assault frequency has been estimated using classical methods and the penetration probability from tunneling through the Generalized Liquid Drop Model (GLDM) potential barrier. The preformation factor has been extracted from experimental $alpha$ decay energies and half-lives. The shell closure effects play the key role in the $alpha$ preformation. The more the nucleon number is close to the magic numbers, the more the formation of $alpha$ cluster is difficult inside the mother nucleus. The penetration probabilities reflect that 126 is a neutron magic number. The penetration probability range is very large compared to that of the preformation factor. The penetration probability determines mainly the $alpha$ decay half-life while the preformation factor allows us to obtain information on the nuclear structure. The study has been extended to the newly observed heaviest nuclei.
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 reactio
n 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.
