Abstract: Beams of linearly polarized almost monocromatic gamma rays, that will be soon available at the ELI-NP facility in Romania, will pave the way to nuclear fluorescence experiments in which the depolarization ratio of the outcoming photons is used as a spectroscopic tool that discriminates among the possible geometric configurations for clustered nuclei. Alpha-clusters are often associated with light nuclei, such as 12C, 16O, etc.

In a recent PRC paper on 12C, all possible geometric shapes have been examined and the corresponding patterns of depolarization ratios have been deduced. The predicted theoretical patterns of intensities will serve as a guide to identify the underlying geometric shape of its nuclear molecular structure with certainty.
