Cluster dynamics and symmetries in light nuclei

Many light nuclei display behaviour that indicates that, rather than behaving as an A-body system of individual nucleons, the degrees of freedom are those of clusters. The appearance of α-particle clustering is most widespread. In the present proceedings the symmetries and dynamics of the nuclei 8Be, 12C and 16O are examined together with some recent experimental measurements.
