Abstract

A systematic survey of the subject of the αα interaction is made. The early observations of α emission and resulting theoretical descriptions, especially the α-particle model of nuclei, are described, as are more recent αα scattering experiments. The latter were designed to obtain information about the nature of the αα interaction and about the energy levels of Be8 by studying the resonance behavior of the phase shifts. The phenomenological approach, i.e., the attempt to construct the αα potential which reproduces the experimental phase shifts, is described as are detailed theoretical constructions of the repulsive inner part and attactive outer part of the αα interaction. Studies of how the αα interaction provides better understanding of the structure of α-clustered nuclei and also of the fundamental forces between the constituents of these nuclei are discussed. Suggestions for the direction of further efforts are made.
