As an alternative to their description as vibrational levels, the low excited states of even-even nuclei can be described as rotational states of a helion, dineutron, diproton, or other cluster about the rest of the nucleus, leading to reasonable values of the average distance between centers of the clusters. Some states involve rotational excitation of two or more helions or other clusters. The nature of the rotating clusters is determined by the relation of the neutron and proton numbers to the magic numbers.
