Decay modes of the Hoyle state in C12
Recent experimental results give an upper limit less than 0.043% (95% C.L.) to the direct decay of the Hoyle state into 3α respect to the sequential decay into Be8+α. We performed one and two-dimensional tunneling calculations to estimate such a ratio and found it to be more than one order of magnit...
