Abstract

If the effect of α clustering due to the interaction of the excited correlated proton pair with correlated neutron pairs in medium and heavy nuclei were taken into consideration, quasiparticle energies would not be simply additive. The empirical values of the extra term δ(α) indicate that α correlations exist to a certain extent in these nuclei.
