Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 192501 (2001) [4 pages]Alpha Cluster Condensation in 12C and 16OReceived 29 June 2001; published 17 October 2001 A new α-cluster wave function is proposed which is of the α-particle condensate type. Applications to 12C and 16O show that states of low density close to the 3 and 4 α-particle thresholds in both nuclei are possibly of this kind. It is conjectured that all self-conjugate 4n nuclei may show similar features. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
