COEXISTENCE OF CLUSTER CONFIGURATIONS IN THE S-32 NUCLEUS

The T=0 energy spectrum and the electromagnetic transitions of the S-3 2 nucleus are described in terms of the semimicroscopic algebraic clus ter model. Si-28+alpha and O-16+O-16 configurations are considered for the low-lying bands and molecular resonances, respectively. The clust er configurations, including their Hamiltonians. are treated in a unif ied framework. The densities of high-lying core-plus-alpha-particle st ates are predicted in those energy windows, where good-resolution expe riments have been carried out. [S0556-2813(98)06410-3].
