Abstract
Aspects of alpha transfer reaction studies investigated during the last few years are discussed. In the mass region of alpha decaying nuclei reduced widths extracted from alpha pickup reactions are in very good agreement to those of alpha decay data. In the medium mass range four nucleon transfer data are interpreted in the framework of rather vivid models indicating a strong pair correlation. For lower mass systems the observed experimental quantities are reasonably predicted by SU(3) and shell model calculations. The influence of the interdependence of structure and reaction mechanism effects on amplitudes and shapes of angular distributions is discussed. The necessity of using a coupled reaction channels mechanism and its success for the description of natural and unnatural parity states is demonstrated for the lower mass range of sd-shell nuclei.
