Alpha clustering in 28Si probed through the identification of high-lying 0+ states
Abstract
Aspects of nuclear structure in alpha-conjugate nuclei have long been associated with alpha clustering, including the existence of superdeformed bands. In this paper, an alpha-particle inelastic scattering experiment investigating the location of 0+ states in 28Si is reported in an attempt to locate possible cluster states. The results are compared to a semi-microscopic model which shows good agreement with the data, and supports the assignment of a newly discovered 0+ state as the band-head of a previously observed superdeformed band in 28Si
