The structure of 24Mg using the cranked cluster model

Description

The structure of the positive parity states in 24Mg has been investigated using the cranked alpha-cluster model. A comparison of our results with Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations for 24Mg indicates that shell nonuniformities in the single-particle energy spectrum play an important role in determining the stability of alpha-cluster configurations with large deformations. Comparison of our calculations with experimental data suggests that the resonances observed in 12C+12C reactions near the Coulomb barrier and those seen in 12C+12C elastic and inelastic scattering at higher energies are associated with different shape isomers in 24Mg.
