The study of collective motions within atomic nuclei, such as monopole, dipole, and quadrupole excitations, is crucial for understanding nuclear structure and properties, which provide insights into the spatial distribution and dynamic nature of protons and neutrons in nuclei. By analyzing the angular distributions of these modes excited via inelastic scattering reactions, we can determine the transition characteristics and deformation lengths of nuclei. Specific case studies, including quadrupole excitations and dipole excitations indicating exotic cluster structures in light nuclei, highlight the utility of modern experimental setups like the solenoidal spectrometer and the active target detector.
