Exotic clusters in the excited states of Be-12, Be-14 and B-15

The excited states of Be-12, Be-14 and B-15 were studied by an antisymmetrized molecular dynamics method. The theoretical results reproduced the energy levels of recently measured excited states of Be-12, and also predicted rotational bands with innovative clustering structures in Be-12, Be-14 and B-15. Clustering states with new exotic clusters (He-6, He-8 and Li-9) were theoretically suggested. One new aspect in very neutron-rich nuclei is a 6-nucleon correlation among 4 neutrons and 2 protons, which plays an important role in the formation of He-6 clusters during clustering: 8He + 6He of Be-14 and 9Li+6He of B-15.
