Alpha decay of excited states of carbon-12

A crystal of the carbon-rich phosphor, anthracene, has been bombarded by monoenergetic fast neutrons. Alpha-particle decays of carbon nuclei have been separated from other events by a specialised application of the pulse shape discrimination technique. A numerical analysis of the data has yielded al...
