TL;DR: In this article, the formation of α clusters at the surface of neutron-rich tin isotopes has been investigated using quasi-free α cluster-knockout reactions, and the observed monotonous decrease of reaction cross sections with increasing mass number implies a tight interplay between α-cluster formation and the neutron skin.

TL;DR: The authors analyse the proton radii, binding energies and electric quadrupole transition rates of neutron-rich carbon isotopes at proton number six and use nuclear structure models to support the magic number Z’= 6, which can be explained by the state-of-the-art nuclear theory with chiral nucleon–nucleon and three-n nucleon forces, which are rooted in the quantum chromodynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite-range Glauber model with a global parameter set within the optical-limit approximation was developed to analyze low-energy data, which is applicable to reaction cross section measurements at incident energies from $10A$ to $2100A$ MeV.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present experimental evidence for the smallest SO-originated magic number (subshell closure) at the proton number six in 13-20C obtained from systematic analysis of point-proton distribution radii, electromagnetic transition rates and atomic masses of light nuclei.

TL;DR: The dipole polarizability of stable even-mass tin isotopes 112,114,116,118,120,124Sn was extracted from inelastic proton scattering experiments at 295 MeV under very forward angles performed at RCNP.
