Abstract

The search for specific signals in ultra-relativistic heavy-light ion collisions addressing intrinsic geometric features of nuclei may open a new window to low energy nuclear structure. We discuss specifically the phenomenon of α-clustering in ¹²C when colliding with ²⁰⁸Pb at almost the speed of light.
