The α-particle condensed state in 16 O is investigated by the use of 4α OCM (Orthogonality Condition Model). Low-lying spectrum in experiment is well reproduced up to around the 4α break-up threshold. The excited state obtained around the 4α threshold as the [Formula: see text] state is shown to have a dilute density structure and give strong enhancement of the occupation of the S-state c.o.m. orbital of the α-particles. This is strong evidence that the state is regarded as the 4α condensed state.

This is strong evidence that the state is regarded as the 4α condensed state. It also has a large component of [Formula: see text] configuration, which is another reliable evidence of the state to be of 4α condensate nature.

Low density states near the 3α and 4α breakup threshold in 12 C and 16 O , respectively, are discussed in terms of the α-particle condensation. Calculations are performed in OCM (Orthogonality Condition Model) and THSR (Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-Röpke) approaches. The [Formula: see text] state in 12 C and the [Formula: see text] state in 16 O are shown to have dilute density structures and give strong enhancement of the occupation of the S-state c.o.m. orbital of the α-particles. The possibility of the existence of α-particle condensed states in heavier nα nuclei is also discussed.

The structure of 13 C is studied with the semi-microscopic cluster model, 3α+n orthogonality condition model (OCM). The energy spectra of four 1/2- states and three 1/2+ states up to Ex ~ 13 MeV are successfully reproduced, in particular, three monopole transition strengths are in fair agreement with the observed ones. We discuss the cluster states and alpha particle condensation in the 1/2± states appearing around the 12 C +n, 9 Be +α and 3α+n thresholds.

One of the more interesting features of cosmic ray stars is that [Formula: see text] nuclei are ejected occasionally in the nuclear disintegrations. Such nuclei are characterized by the fact that, at the end of their range, they suffer radioactive decay (τ = 0.9 sec.) into [Formula: see text], which immediately splits up into two oppositely directed α-particles, giving what is usually referred to as a hammer track. In this investigation numerous examples have been observed of the emission of such nuclei in stars in photographic emulsions, the stars having from 2 to 60 prongs. In particular, it has been shown that the energy spectrum of the α-particles forming the hammer tracks is in good agreement with that observed by other workers, and also with experiments made, using the cloud chamber technique, indicating that the [Formula: see text] in this disintegration is formed in the excited state. When an electron sensitive emulsion is used it is shown that the hammer track is accompanied by the [Formula: see text] disintegration electron. The energy spectrum of the [Formula: see text] nuclei is plotted, and the mechanism of the formation is discussed for both large and small stars.
