A new high-precision upper limit of direct α-decays from the Hoyle state in 12C

A new high-precision upper limit of direct α-decays from the Hoyle state in 12C

The Hoyle state in 12C(Ex = 7.654MeV) is characterized by a pronounced 3α cluster configuration. It is involved in the so-called 3α process in stars, that is responsible of 12C nucleosynthesis. We studied the decay path of the Hoyle state by using the 14N(d, α2)12C(7.654) reaction at 10.5MeV inciden...
