The BECQUEREL Project (Beryllium (Boron) Clustering Quest in Relativistic Multifragmentation) at the JINR Nuclotron is devoted systematic exploration of clustering features of light stable and radioactive nuclei. A nuclear track emulsion is used to explore the fragmentation of the relativistic nuclei down to the most peripheral interactions - nuclear "white" stars. This technique provides a record spatial resolution and allows one to observe the 3D images of peripheral collisions. The analysis of the relativistic fragmentation of neutron-deficient isotopes has special advantages owing to a larger fraction of observable nucleons.

Nuclear beams of energy higher than 1A GeV are recognized as a novel opportunity for the nuclear structure explorations. Among all variety of the nuclear interactions the peripheral dissociation bears uniquely complete information about the excited nucleus states above particle decay thresholds.

CONCLUDING REMARKSCONCLUDING REMARKSThe presented observations serve as an illustration of prospects of the Nuclotron for The presented observations serve as an illustration of prospects of the Nuclotron for nuclear physics and astrophysics researches. In spite of an extraordinarily large distinction nuclear physics and astrophysics researches. In spite of an extraordinarily large distinction from the nuclear excitation energy the relativistic scale does not impede investigations of from the nuclear excitation energy the relativistic scale does not impede investigations of nuclear interactions down to energy scale typical for nuclear astrophysics, but on the nuclear interactions down to energy scale typical for nuclear astrophysics, but on the contrary gives advantages. The major one of them is the possibility of principle of observing contrary gives advantages. The major one of them is the possibility of principle of observing

Providing the 3D observation of studying of light nuclei, especially, neutron-deficient ones. Providing the 3D observation of narrow dissociation vertices this classical technique gives novel possibilities of moving narrow dissociation vertices this classical technique gives novel possibilities of moving toward more and more complicated nuclear systems. Therefore this technique deserves toward more and more complicated nuclear systems. Therefore this technique deserves upgrade, without changes in its detection basics, with the aim to speed up the microscope upgrade, without changes in its detection basics, with the aim to speed up the microscope scanning for rather rare events of peripheral dissociation.scanning for rather rare events of peripheral dissociation.
