The antisymmetrized quasi-cluster model (AQCM) was proposed to describe {alpha}-cluster and $jj$-coupling shell models on the same footing. In this model, the cluster-shell transition is characterized by two parameters; $R$ representing the distance between {alpha} clusters and {alpha} 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. Not only the closure configurations of the major shells, but also the subclosure configurations of the $jj$-coupling shell model can be described starting with the {alpha}-cluster model wave functions; however, the particle hole excitations of single particles have not been fully established yet. In this study we show that the framework of AQCM can be extended even to the states with the character of single particle excitations. For $^{12}$C, two particle two hole (2p2h) excitations from the subclosure configuration of $0p_{3/2}$ corresponding to BCS-like pairing are described, and these shell model states are coupled with the three {alpha} cluster model wave functions. The correlation energy from the optimal configuration can be estimated not only in the cluster part but also in the shell model part. We try to pave the way to establish a generalized description of the nuclear structure.

On the basis of time-dependent mean-field picture, we discuss the nature of the low-frequency quadrupole vibrations from small-amplitude to large-amplitude regimes as representatives of surface shape vibrations of a superfluid droplet (nucleus). We c onsider full five-dimensional quadrupole dynamics including three-dimensional rotations restoring the broken symmetries as well as axially symmetric and asymmetric shape fluctuations. We show that the intimate connections between the BCS pairing and collective vibrations reveal through the inertial masses governing their collective kinetic energies.
The pairing correlation energy for two-nucleon configurations with the spin-parity and isospin of $J^pi=0^+$, $T$=1 and $J^pi=1^+$, $T$=0 are calculated with $T$=1 and $T$=0 pairing interactions, respectively. To this end, we consider the $(1f2p)$ sh ell model space, including single-particle angular momenta of $l=3$ and $l=1$. It is pointed out that a two-body matrix element of the spin-triplet $T$=0 pairing is weakened substantially for the $1f$ orbits, even though the pairing strength is much larger than that for the spin-singlet $T$=1 pairing interaction. In contrast, the spin-triplet pairing correlations overcome the spin-singlet pairing correlations for the $2p$ configuration, for which the spin-orbit splitting is smaller than that for the $1f$ configurations, if the strength for the T=0 pairing is larger than that for the T=1 pairing by 50% or more. Using the Hartree-Fock wave functions, it is also pointed out that the mismatch of proton and neutron radial wave functions is at most a few % level, even if the Fermi energies are largely different in the proton and neutron mean-field potentials. These results imply that the configuration with $J^pi=0^+$, $T$=1 is likely in the ground state of odd-odd $pf$ shell nuclei even under the influence of the strong spin-triplet $T$=0 pairing, except at the middle of the $pf$ shell, in which the odd proton and neutron may occupy the $2p$ orbits. These results are consistent with the observed spin-parity $J^{pi}=0^+$ for all odd-odd $pf$ shell nuclei except for $^{58}_{29}$Cu, which has $J^{pi}=1^+$.

The relativistic and nonrelativistic finite temperature proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation (FT-PNQRPA) methods are developed to study the interplay of the pairing and temperature effects on the Gamow-Teller excitations in open-sh ell nuclei, as well as to explore the model dependence of the results by using two rather different frameworks for effective nuclear interactions. The Skyrme-type functional SkM* is employed in the nonrelativistic framework, while the density-dependent meson-exchange interaction DD-ME2 is implemented in the relativistic approach. Both the isoscalar and isovector pairing interactions are taken into account within the FT-PNQRPA. Model calculations show that below the critical temperatures the Gamow-Teller excitations display a sensitivity to both the finite temperature and pairing effects, and this demonstrates the necessity for implementing both in the theoretical framework. The established FT-PNQRPA opens perspectives for the future complete and consistent description of astrophysically relevant weak interaction processes in nuclei at finite temperature such as $beta$-decays, electron capture, and neutrino-nucleus reactions.
Densities and transition densities are computed in an equilateral triangular alpha-cluster model for $^{12}$C, in which each $alpha$ particle is taken as a gaussian density distribution. The ground-state, the symmetric vibration (Hoyle state) and the asymmetric bend vibration are analyzed in a molecular approach and dissected into their components in a series of harmonic functions, revealing their intrinsic structures. The transition densities in the laboratory frame are then used to construct form-factors and to compute DWBA inelastic cross-sections for the $^{12}$C$(alpha, alpha)$ reaction. The comparison with experimental data indicates that the simple geometrical model with rotations and vibrations gives a reliable description of reactions where $alpha$-cluster degrees of freedom are involved.
For more than half a century, the structure of $^{12}$C, such as the ground band, has been understood to be well described by the three $alpha$ cluster model based on a geometrical crystalline picture. On the contrary, recently it has been claimed th at the ground state of $^{12}$C is also well described by a nonlocalized cluster model without any of the geometrical configurations originally proposed to explain the dilute gas-like Hoyle state, which is now considered to be a Bose-Einstein condensate of $alpha$ clusters. The challenging unsolved problem is how we can reconcile the two exclusive $alpha$ cluster pictures of $^{12}$C, crystalline vs nonlocalized structure. We show that the crystalline cluster picture and the nonlocalized cluster picture can be reconciled by noticing that they are a manifestation of supersolidity with properties of both crystallinity and superfluidity. This is achieved through a superfluid $alpha$ cluster model based on effective field theory, which treats the Nambu-Goldstone zero mode rigorously. For several decades, scientists have been searching for a supersolid in nature.Nuclear $alpha$ cluster structure is considered to be the first confirmed example of a stable supersolid.
