Abstract

A recent analysis of the $^{12}\mathrm{C}$$+$$^{24}\mathrm{Mg}$ scattering [W. Sciani et al., Phys. Rev. C 80, 034319 (2009)] suggests the existence of a hyperdeformed band in the $^{36}\mathrm{Ar}$ nucleus, completely in line with the predictions of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ [W. D. M. Rae and A. C. Merchant, Phys. Lett. B279, 207 (1992)] and binary cluster calculations [J. Cseh et al., Phys. Rev. C 70, 034311 (2004)]. Here we review the structural understanding of the superdeformed and the hyperdeformed states of $^{36}\mathrm{Ar}$ and present new results on the shape isomers as well. Special attention is paid to the clusterization of these states, which indicates the appropriate reaction channels for their formation.
