Background: The nuclear structure of the cluster bands in 20Ne presents a challenge for different theoretical approaches. It is especially difficult to explain the broad 0+, 2+ states at 9 MeV excitation energy. Simultaneously, it is important to obtain more reliable experimental data for these levels in order to quantitatively assess the theoretical framework. Purpose: To obtain new data on 20Ne α- cluster structure. Method: Thick target inverse kinematics technique was used to study the 16O+α resonance elastic scattering and the data were analyzed using an R matrix approach. The 20Ne spectrum, the cluster and nucleon spectroscopic factors were calculated using cluster-nucleon configuration interaction model (CNCIM). Results: We determined the parameters of the broad resonances in 20Ne: 0+ level at 8.77 ± 0.150 MeV with a width of 750 $$^{+500}_{-220}$$ keV; 2+ level at 8.75 ± 0.100 MeV with the width of 695 ± 120 keV; the width of 9.48 MeV level of 65 ± 20 keV and showed that 9.19 MeV, 2+ level (if exists) should have width ≤ 10 keV. The detailed comparison of the theoretical CNCIM predictions with the experimental data on cluster states was made. Conclusions: Our experimental results by the TTIK method generally confirm the adopted data on α-cluster levels in 20Ne. The CNCIM gives a good description of the 20Ne positive parity states up to an excitation energy of ~7 MeV, predicting reasonably well the excitation energy of the states and their cluster and single particle properties. At higher excitations, the qualitative disagreement with the experimentally observed structure is evident, especially for broad resonances.
