Description

This presentation will highlight some of most recent results concerning experiments
devoted to the understanding of cluster structures in atomic nuclei. Selected topics will
cover results from experimental studies on 12 C, self-conjugated and non-self-conjugated
nuclei, clustering effects in nuclear reactions with light partners, including those of interest
in nuclear astrophysics, and in the region of heavier mass nuclei. Effects attributable to
clustering will be further discussed in processes such as fission and quasifission, in the
heavy and superheavy mass region, where shell closures definitively play a role.
