Form Factors in the Algebraic Cluster Model

Abstract

I present a derivation of form factors in the Algebraic Cluster Model for an arbitrary number of identical clusters. The form factors correspond to representation matrix elements which are derived in closed form for the harmonic oscillator and deformed oscillator limits. These results are relevant for applications in nuclear, molecular and hadronic physics.
