Opportunities of studying clustering in nuclei with the TTT3 tandem accelerator in Naples

The availability of a low-energy, high-resolution tandem accelerator in Naples triggered a series of experiments based on “classical” studies of nuclear spectroscopy with charged particles in low energy nuclear reactions. The accurate knowledge of spectroscopy of light nuclei allows to deduce important information on the structure of such systems and on the onset of alpha-clustering phenomena. Light self-conjugated ( 20 Ne) and non-self-conjugated ( 11,13 C) were the subjects of such experiments.
