Cluster structure of 20Ne: Evidence for D(3h) symmetry

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the cluster structure of 20Ne and show that the available experimental data can be well described by a bi-pyramidal structure with D(3h) symmetry. Strong evidence for the occurrence of this symmetry comes from the observation of all nine expected vibrational modes (3 singly degenerate and 3 doubly degenerate) and of six (singly degenerate) double vibrational modes. 20Ne appears to be another example of the simplicity in complexity program, in which simple spectroscopic features arise out of a complex many-body system.
