Elongated shape isomers in the {sup 36}Ar nucleus

A recent analysis of the {sup 12}C+{sup 24}Mg scattering [W. Sciani et al., Phys. Rev. C 80, 034319 (2009)] suggests the existence of a hyperdeformed band in the {sup 36}Ar nucleus, completely in line with the predictions of {alpha}[W. D. M. Rae and A. C. Merchant, Phys. Lett.

Description
Summary:A recent analysis of the {sup 12}C+{sup 24}Mg scattering [W. Sciani et al., Phys. Rev. C 80, 034319 (2009)] suggests the existence of a hyperdeformed band in the {sup 36}Ar nucleus, completely in line with the predictions of {alpha}[W. D. M. Rae and A. C. Merchant, Phys. Lett. B279, 207 (1992)] and binary cluster calculations [J. Cseh et al., Phys. Rev. C 70, 034311 (2004)]. Here we review the structural understanding of the superdeformed and the hyperdeformed states of {sup 36}Ar and present new results on the shape isomers as well. Special attention is paid to the clusterization of these states, which indicates the appropriate reaction channels for their formation.
