$\alpha+\alpha+t$ cluster structures and Hoyle-analogue states in $^{11}$B
Abstract
The structure of and states in B is investigated with an orthogonality condition model (OCM) based on the Gaussian expansion method. Full levels up to the and states around the threshold (=11.1 MeV) are reproduced consistently with the experimental energy levels. It is shown that the state located around the Li+ threshold has an cluster structure, whereas the and states have a shell-model-like compact structure. We found that the state does not possess an -condensate-like nature similar to the state of C (Hoyle state) which has a dilute -condensate structure described by a configuration with about \% probability, although the monopole transition strength of the former is as large as that of the latter. We discuss the reasons why the state does not have the condensate character. On the other hand, the state just below the Li+ threshold has a cluster structure which can be interpreted as a parity-doublet partner of the state. We indicate that the -MeV state () just above the threshold observed in the Li(Li,B) reaction etc. is of the dilute-cluster-gas-like, and is a strong candidate for the Hoyle-analogue state which has a configuration of with about \% probability from the analyses of the single-cluster motions in B. The structure property of the resonant state is analyzed with the complex scaling method.
