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 that 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.

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.
Background: Recent theoretical and experimental researches using proton-induced $alpha$-knockout reactions provide direct manifestation of $alpha$-cluster formation in nuclei. In recent and future experiments, $alpha$-knockout data are available for
neutron-rich beryllium isotopes. In $^{12}$Be , rich phenomena are induced by the formation of $alpha$-clusters surrounded by neutrons, for instance, breaking of the neutron magic number $N=8$. Purpose: Our objective is to provide direct probing of the $alpha$-cluster formation in the $^{12}$Be target through associating the structure information obtained by a microscopic theory with the experimental observables of $alpha$-knockout reactions. Method: We formulate a new wave function of the Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-R{o}pke (THSR) type for the structure calculation of ${}^{12}$Be nucleus and integrate it with the distorted wave impulse approximation framework for the $alpha$-knockout reaction calculation of $^{12}$Be$(p,palpha)^{8}$He. Results: We reproduce the low-lying spectrum of the $^{12}$Be nucleus using the THSR wave function and discuss the cluster structure of the ground state. Based on the microscopic wave function, the optical potentials and $alpha$-cluster wave function are determined and utilized in the calculation of ${}^{12}$Be($p,palpha$)${}^{8}$He reaction at 250 MeV. The possibility of probing the clustering state of $^{12}$Be through this reaction is demonstrated by analysis of the triple differential cross sections that are sensitively dependent on the $alpha$-cluster amplitude at the nuclear surface. Conclusions: This study provides a feasible approach to validate directly the theoretical predictions of clustering features in the $^{12}$Be nucleus through the $alpha$-knockout reaction.
Lowest energy spectrum of the $^{12}$C nucleus is analyzed in the 3$alpha$ cluster model with a deep $alphaalpha$-potential of Buck, Friedrich and Wheatley with Pauli forbidden states in the $S$ and $D$ waves. The direct orthogonalization method is a
pplied for the elimination of the 3$alpha$-Pauli forbidden states. The effects of possible first order quantum phase transition are shown in the lowest $^{12}$C($0_1^+)$ and $^{12}$C($2_1^+)$ states from weakly bound phase to a deep phase. The ground and lowest $2^+$ states of the $^{12}$C nucleus in the deep phase are created by the critical eigen states of the Pauli projector for the $0^+$ and $2^+$ three-alpha functional spaces, respectively.
Geometric configurations of three-$alpha$ particles in the ground- and first-excited $J^pi=0^+$ states of $^{12}$C are discussed within two types of $alpha$-cluster models which treat the Pauli principle differently. Though there are some quantitativ
e differences especially in the internal region of the wave functions, equilateral triangle configurations are dominant in the ground state, while in the first excited $0^+$ state isosceles triangle configurations dominate, originating from $^8{rm Be}+alpha$ configurations.
The molecular algebraic model based on three and four alpha clusters is used to describe the inelastic scattering of alpha particles populating low-lying states in $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O. Optical potentials and inelastic formfactors are obtained by fo
lding densities and transition densities obtained within the molecular model. One-step and multi-step processes can be included in the reaction mechanism calculation. In spite of the simplicity of the approach the molecular model with rotations and vibrations provides a reliable description of reactions where $alpha$-cluster degrees of freedom are involved and good results are obtained for the excitation of several low-lying states. Within the same model we briefly discuss the expected selection rules for the $alpha$-transfer reactions from $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O.
