Title: Comment on a discrepancy between proton- and alpha-induced cluster knockout reactions on /sup 16/O

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The possibility is discussed that the enhanced clustering in the nuclear surface of some nuclei observed by Samanta et al. (Phys. Rev. C 26, 1379 (1982)) is due to the modification of the wave function of a discrete nuclear state at the nuclear surface by unbound states. The modification is formulated in a model with unified description of bound and unbound states. Experimental data from knockout reactions on odd nuclei are necessary in order to test the theoretical statements.
