Abstract

Status and prospects of nuclear clustering studies by dissociation of relativistic nuclei in nuclear track emulsion are presented. The unstable ⁸Be and ⁹B nuclei are identified in dissociation of the isotopes ⁹Be, ¹⁰B, ¹⁰C and ¹¹C, and the Hoyle state in the cases ¹²C and ¹⁶O. On this ground searching for the Hoyle state and more complex α-particle states in the dissociation of the heavier nuclei is suggested. A detailed study of a low-density baryonic matter arising in dissociation of the heaviest nuclei is forthcoming long-term problem. An analysis of nuclear fragmentation induced by relativistic muons is proposed to examine the mechanism dissociation.
