Description
In this presentation, I will focus on the clustering features of light nuclei and show some recent applications. One is 22Mg. The study of the 22Mg is highly important in nuclear physics because it sits at the crossroads of alpha-particle clustering, mirror symmetry breaking, and nuclear astrophysics. I will show the results of the 14O+alpha+alpha model calculation on this nucleus. Also, 12C+12C structure on 24Mg is presented, which is important in explaining the source or X-ray super burst. Finally, three alpha structure of 12C induced by the p+11B reaction is discussed in connection with cancer treatment.
