The second 2+ state of 12C, predicted over fifty years ago as an excitation of the Hoyle state, has been unambiguously identified using the 12C(g,a_0)8Be reaction. The alpha particles produced by the photodisintegration of 12C were detected…

Our understanding of the low-lying resonance structure in $^{12}$C remains incomplete. We have used the $^{11}\text{B}(p,3\alpha)\gamma$ reaction at proton energies of $E_p=0.5-2.7$ MeV as a selective probe of the excitation region above…

The 16.1MeV 2+ resonance in 12C situated slightly above the proton threshold can decay by proton-, $\alpha$-, and $\gamma$ emission. The partial width for proton emission cannot be directly measured due to the low proton energy and the…
