[Isac-journal-club] Journal Club June 1st

[Matthias Holl]

Hi everyone,

Next week’s journal club will be on Wednesday, June 1st at 3:30 in room
223. We will discuss"One-dimensionality in atomic nuclei: A candidate
for linear-chain alpha clustering in 14C"
<http://journals.aps.org/prc/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevC.93.014321> (Phys.
Rev. C 93, 014321).

Here are a few questions:

1. What are alpha-cluster states and what is so special about
linear-chain states?
2. What is an active target time projection chamber and what advantage
do you have by using such a detector instead of e.g. a silicon array?
3. How are the resonances in 14C identified?
4. What is AMD and why is it so popular for the description of cluster
states?
5. Do you think the observed resonances are good candidates for linear
chain states?

Cheers,
Matthias
