Excitation energy decaying threshold to subsystems cluster structure with geometric shapes mean-field, shell structure (single-particle motion)
But the second 0+ state has turned out to be gas like state rather than the state with geometrical configuration

J = 0 [ ] Strong-coupling picture The kinetic energy of 8Be subsystem increases compared with that of the free 8Be [ ] J = 0 [ ] J = 0 Weak-coupling picture There is no definite shape
The effect of Pauli principle ] J = 0 [ The second and third alpha-clusters are excited to higher-nodal configurations. If linear-chain is stable, there must exist some very strong mechanism in the interaction side.

σ-orbit is important for the linear chain, but not the lowest configuration around 3 alpha linear chain N. Itagaki, S. Okabe, K. Ikeda, and I. Tanihata Phys. Rev. C 64 014301 (2001).
Mean field models • Quite general models designed for nuclei of all the mass regions (exotic cluster structure is not assumed a priori). • Appearance of cluster structure as results of studies using such general models give us more confidence for their existence. Many people started analyzing cluster states with mean field models

4 alpha linear chain in rotating frame Pioneering work, but no spin-orbit, no path to bending motion
Linear chain configuration appears when angular momentum is given, however….. • Initial state is one-dimensional configuration stability with respect to the bending motion was not discussed • Spin-orbit interaction was not included in the Hamiltonian

MOI = 0.06 MeV Ex(0) = 40 MeV Ichikawa et al.
The advantages of Tohsaki interaction • Saturation property is satisfied • Size parameter dependence of 4He is small and radius and binding energy of 4He are reasonably reproduced • 4He- 4He scattering phase shift is reproduced • It is rather easy to perform angular momentum projection and/or superposition of different states, since the Hamiltonian is in the operator form (density dependence is expressed as finite-range three-body interaction)
