2{sup +} excitation of the {sup 12}C Hoyle state

Journal Article Freer, M ; Fujita, H ; Carter, J ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

A high-energy-resolution magnetic spectrometer has been used to measure the {sup 12}C excitation energy spectrum to search for the 2{sup +} excitation of the 7.65 MeV, 0{sup +} Hoyle state. By measuring in the diffractive minimum of the angular distribution for the broad 0{sup +} background, evidence is found for a possible 2{sup +} state at 9.6(1) MeV with a width of 600(100) keV. The implications for the {sup 8}Be+{sup 4}He reaction rate in stellar environments are discussed.

Structure of the Hoyle State in {sup 12}C

Journal Article Chernykh, M ; Neumann-Cosel, P von ; Richter, A ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The first excited 0{sup +} state in {sup 12}C (Hoyle state) has been predicted to be a dilute self-bound gas of bosonic {alpha} particles, similar to a Bose-Einstein condensate. To clarify this conjecture, precise electron scattering data on form factors of the ground state and the transition to the Hoyle state are compared with results of the fermionic molecular dynamics model, a microscopic {alpha}-cluster model, and an {alpha}-cluster model with reduced degrees of freedom (in the spirit of a Bose-Einstein condensed state). The data indicate clearly a dilute density with a large spatial extension of the Hoyle state. A closermore »« less

Stringent upper limit on the direct 3α decay of the Hoyle state in ¹²C

Journal Article Smith, Robin ; Gai, M. ; Ahmed, M. W. ; ... - Physical Review C

We investigate an implication of the most recent observation of a second J^π = 2⁺ state in ¹²C, which was measured using the ¹²C(γ,α)⁸Be_(g.s.) reaction. In addition to the dissociation of ¹²C to an α-particle and ⁸Be in its ground state, a small fraction of events (2%) were identified as direct decays and decays to excited states in ⁸Be. This allowed a limit on the direct 3α partial decay width to be determined as Γ_3α < 32(4) keV. Since this 2⁺ state is predicted by all theoretical models to be a collective excitation of the Hoyle state, the 3α partialmore »« less
