3 General remarks Rich in physics emergence of clusters (α particle) α-α interaction (nuclear as well as electromagnetic) quantum tunnelling (three-body centrifugal and Coulomb barrier) Bose symmetry Experimental method measure distribution of α-particle momenta (complete kinematics advantageous) Challenges sophisticated detector setup complicated data analysis interpretation of data rests on theoretical models 3 / 37
4 Historical introduction (α clustering and α decay) 4 / 37
5 Very early days of nuclear physics At that time one was tempted to consider alpha particles as basic building blocks of nuclei. However, from those days a warning from Schrödinger still persists in my mind. During the late twenties he chided the participants in a Berlin seminar for their lack of imagination. In his impulsive manner he said: Just because you see alpha particles coming out of the nucleus, you should not necessarily conclude that inside they exist as such. (J. Hans D. Jensen, Nobel lecture 1963) J. Hans D. Jensen Late 1920s E. Schrödinger 5 / 37
6 Birth of the α-cluster model Bethe and Bacher (1936), Wefelmeier (1937), Wheeler (1937), and von Weizsäcker (1938) 6 / 37
7 New understanding The alpha particle loses its identity in the compact nucleus Ikeda, Takigawa, Horiuchi (1968) 7 / 37

Hoyle 11.83, , , , : Morinaga interpretes Hoyle state as a rotationless linear chain of three α particles and predicts 2 + rotational excitation of the Hoyle state at 9.7 MeV , 0 + α + α + α H. Morinaga 4.44, 2 + α! α! α! 0.0, C 8 / 37

10 α decay and nuclear structure It is remarkable that very little information about nuclear structure could be gained from the study of alpha decay. Max von Laue has pointed this out very clearly in a letter to Gamow in 1926; he congratulated Gamow on his explanation of the Geiger-Nuttal law in terms of the tunneling effect and then went on: however, if the alpha decay is dominated by quantum phenomena in the region outside the nucleus, we obviously cannot learn much about nuclear structure from it.

35 Conclusion 35 / 37
36 Summary and conclusion 3α breakup and 2p radioactivity: two examples of three-body decay α momentum distribution sensitive to short-range structure? Complete kinematics measurement and Dalitz-plot analysis Symmetries and final-state interactions ( 8 Be 2 + resonance) Full three-body calculation reproduces the gross structures of the Dalitz distribution, but fails to reproduce the detailed shape (effect of short-range structure?) Outlook: apply similar analysis to very broad states O. S. Kirsebom et al., Phys. Rev. C 81 (2010) / 37
