Description:
A novel experimental analysis method has been developed, making use of the continuous wavelet transform and machine learning to rapidly identify $$alpha $$ α -clustering in nuclei in regions of high nuclear state density. This technique was applied to resonant scattering measurements of the $$^ext {4}$$ 4 He($$^ext {40,44,48}$$ 40,44,48 Ca,$$alpha $$ α ) resonant reactions, allowing the $$alpha $$ α -cluster structure of $$^ext {44,48,52}$$ 44,48,52 Ti to be investigated. Fragmented $$alpha $$ α -clustering was identified in $$^ext {44}$$ 44 Ti and $$^ext {52}$$ 52 Ti, while the results for $$^ext {48}$$ 48 Ti were less conclusive, but suggest no such clustering.
