Clustering in $^{18}$O - absolute determination of branching ratios via high-resolution particle spectroscopy

Clustering in $^{18}$O - absolute determination of branching ratios via high-resolution particle spectroscopy

The determination of absolute branching ratios for high-energy states in light nuclei is an important and useful tool for probing the underlying nuclear structure of individual resonances: for example, in establishing the tendency of an excited state towards $\alpha$-cluster structure. Difficulty ar...
