Triton and alpha-particle cluster states in 43Sc

A cluster-model calculation of the properties of triton and alpha-particle cluster states in 43Sc is presented. For the triton cluster states, the 40Ca core is assumed to be in its ground state. An effective, local, cluster-core potential containing central and spin-orbit terms, obtained from a simple folding procedure, is used to generate the cluster-state energies and wavefunctions from a single-particle Schroedinger equation. For the alpha-particle cluster states, the 39K core is assumed to be in its ground or first excited state, which is treated as a dsub(3/2) or ssub(1/2) hole in an inert 40Ca core. (author)
