This is the third volume in the series of Lecture Notes in Physics entitled “Clusters in
Nuclei” based on the well known Cluster Conferences that have been running since
decades, on two recent “State Of The Art in Nuclear Cluster Physics” Workshops, as
well as on successfull Theoretical Winter Schools, tradionnally held on the Campus
of the Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France.
A great deal of research work has been accomplished in the field of alpha clustering
and in cluster studies of light neutron-rich nuclei. The scope of this Series
of lecture notes is to deepen our knowledge of the field of nuclear cluster physics
which is one of the domains of heavy-ion nuclear physics facing the greatest challenges
and opportunities.
