Abstract

Normally one plots separation energies S_1n and S_2n as a function of neutron number N for a particular proton number Z or plot S_1p and S_2p as a function of Z for a particular N. Here we plot the separation energies a little differently: S_1n and S_2n as a function of Z for a particular N. The same with S_1p and S_2p as a function of N for a particular Z. A systematic study of these new plots brings out certain very interesting generic features which clearly indicate presence of triton ("t") ³₁ H₂ and helion ("h") ³₂ He₁ clustering in nuclei.
