Abstract

Cluster approach has recently become an attractive way of research for atomic nuclei due to the following main reasons. The very fact that nucleons are not point particles but rather extensive particles of about 1 fm radius which is well comparable with that of the nucleus itself.1 The success of the liquid drop model despite the fact that the independent particle assumption of the shell model is well supported by many experimental facts. The apparent success of the α-cluster model.2 The many similarities found between atomic clusters and nuclei in such a way that both could be thought as members of a new science that of many (in comparison to few body physics) but not too many (in comparison to solid state physics) particles physics.3 The fact that recently semi-classical mechanics has experienced a renaissance as a relevant theory for regular and chaotic systems of the microworld.4
