Description

We propose a simplified model to directly take into account the contribution of the tensor interaction (SMT) for light nuclei by extending the α-cluster model. In 8Be, the energy curve with respect to the relative distance between the two 4He clusters suggests that the cluster structure persists even though the tensor interaction contributes strongly. In addition to SMT, a simplified method to take into account the strong spin-orbit contribution is introduced and the coupling effects of these two models is shown to be important in 12C, in contrast to 8Be
