Abstract

New data on elastic electron scattering from 4He at medium momentum transfers are presented. The charge density and rms-radius (1.674 ± 0.012 fm) are obtained from a model-independent analysis of all available electron scattering data. Together with previous μ-4He data this allows to verify the QED vacuum polarization term to ±0.25%.

    Such a trend indicates a clear degree of nuclear compressibility, making, therefore, the simple expression Ri = <rld>·Ai1/3 (i = P, D) not valid in estimating nuclear radii in the whole range of mass number. Concerning the alpha-particle radius, it has been adopted the value Rα = (1.62 ± 0.01) fm, in accordance to the α-radius value derived from the charge density distribution measured by Sick et al. (1976) in electron scattering experiments on 4He target. Excellent reproducibility of alpha-decay data was attained using the above mentioned Rα-value coupled with a simple Gamow's-like model applied to a large number (more than three hundred cases) of measured alpha-decay half-lives covering the mass-number interval 106 ≤ A ≤ 264 (Medeiros et al., 2006).

    Indeed, as already remarked by von Oertzen years ago [17–20], the odd neutron in 9Be provides binding of this nucleus relative to 8Be in a way very similar to π-binding in molecules [40]. Properties of this configuration can be obtained in a variety of ways, either by solving the Schrodinger equation with a Morse-type [42] or a Volkov-type [43] potential or by making use of the algebraic cluster model, ACM, [44–47], which is an application to cluster structures of the algebraic theory of molecules [48]. Extensive calculations have been performed for 8Be.
