$^{10}$Be in the Cluster Shell Model

TL;DR

This paper introduces the Cluster Shell Model (CSM) for light nuclei, specifically applying it to $^{10}$Be with two alpha particles and two neutrons, to understand nuclear structure through a cluster and shell perspective.

Contribution

It presents the first application of the CSM to $^{10}$Be, modeling two neutrons in a deformed field generated by alpha clusters, advancing cluster-shell hybrid nuclear models.

Abstract

The Cluster Shell Model (CSM)describes light nuclei in terms of $k-\alpha$ particles and $x$ extra nucleons, in which the extra nucleon move in the deformed field generated by the geometric configuration of $\alpha$-particles. We present the first study for the case $x=2$ nucleons in application to $^{10}Be$ as a cluster of two $\alpha$-particles and two neutrons.
