Nuclear lattice effective field theory as a testing ground for $α$-cluster structures in ${}^{24}\mathrm{Mg}$

The framework of nuclear lattice effective field theory (NLEFT) is applied to $^{24}\mathrm{Mg}$, with the perspective of obtaining a model-independent density map of the geometry of a sample of excited states of the nucleus. The Hamiltonian incorporates Wigner SU(4)-symmetric nuclear forces as well
