Abstract
Microscopic calculations of cluster decay widths, which have been one
of the recurrent challenges of nuclear theory for many years, require
a good description of the preformed cluster in the mother nucleus. Sin
ce the cluster being emitted is formed either at the nuclear surface o
r beyond it, a reasonable microscopic description of the clustering re
quires the use of a realistic finite single-particle potential, includ
ing its continuum.
