Abstract

We present systematics of the ground-state $α$ -particle spectroscopic strengths for nuclei from ${}^{20}{Ne}$ to ${}^{66}{Zn}$ , measured in the ( ${}^{6}{Li}$ , $d$ ) reaction. An oscillatory decrease from ${}^{20}{Ne}$ to ${}^{32}S$ , which is in excellent agreement with SU(3) theory, is followed by a striking and unexplained increase at ${}^{36}{Ar}$ and ${}^{40}{Ca}$ and then a decrease up to ${}^{52}{Ti}$ , after which there is again a rise.
