Triton clustering in neutron rich nuclei and Ikeda - like diagrams

Abstract

It is shown here that new experiments confirm author's recent prediction of a strong tendency for triton clustering in light neutron rich nuclei. As such the neutron halo phenomena is naturally explained here. Prediction of exotic molecular states rich in tritonic clusters is made here through new Ikeda-like diagram configurations for the nuclei ${^{3Z}_Z} A_{2Z}$ . Hence this model is well confirmed experimentally and makes several new predictions which can be tested experimentally.
