Possibility of 14C cluster as a building block of medium-mass nuclei
Abstract
The possibility of the 14C cluster being a basic building block of medium-mass nuclei is discussed. Although α cluster structures have been widely discussed in the light N ≈ Z mass region, the neutron-to-proton ratio deviates from unity in the nuclei near β-stability line and in neutron-rich nuclei. Thus, more neutron-rich objects with N > Z could become the building blocks of cluster structures in such nuclei. The 14C nucleus is strongly bound and can be regarded as such a candidate. In addition, the path to the lowest shell-model configuration at short relative distances is closed for the 14C+ 14C structure, contrary to the case of the 12C+ 12C structure; this allows an appreciable separation distance between the 14C clusters. The recent development of the antisymmetrized quasicluster model (AQCM) allows us to utilize a j j-coupling shell-model wave function for each cluster in a simplified way. The AQCM results for the 14C+ 14C structure in 28Mg are compared with the ones of cranked relativistic mean field (CRMF) calculations. Although theoretical frameworks of these two models are quite different, they give similar results for the nucleonic densities and rotational properties of the structure under investigation.
