Production of ensembles of $\alpha$-particle triples associated with the Hoyle state (the second excited state of the ${}^{12}$C nucleus) in peripheral dissociation of relativistic ${}^{12}$C nuclei is studied. Stacks of nuclear track…

Using an array of high-purity Compton-suppressed germanium detectors, we performed an independent measurement of the $\beta$-decay branching ratio from $^{12}\mathrm{B}$ to the second-excited (Hoyle) state in $^{12}\mathrm{C}$. Our result…

The radiative branching ratio of the Hoyle state is crucial to estimate the triple-$\alpha$ reaction rate in stellar environments at medium temperatures of $T=0.1$ to 2 GK. Knowledge of the $\gamma$-decay channel is critical as this is the…

The $\alpha$ particle and $^6$He emissions from possible molecular states in beryllium and carbon isotopes have been studied using a mean-field-type cluster potential. Calculations can reproduce well the $\alpha$-decay widths of excited…

The first $0^+$ resonant state of the $^{12}$C nucleus ${}^{12}$C$(0_2^+)$, so called the Hoyle state, is investigated in a three-$\alpha$-particle (3-$\alpha$) model. A wave function for the photodisintegration reaction of a $^{12}$C bound…

We investigate the cluster structure of $\rm {}^{13}N$ using a microscopic $\alpha+\alpha+\alpha+p$ four-body cluster model. The calculated spectra agree well with the observed spectra in the low-lying states. We calculate the reduced width…

First results of an analysis to determine contribution of decays of the unstable $^{8}$Be and $^{9}$B nuclei and the Hoyle 3$\alpha$-state to dissociation of $^{14}$N $\to$ 3He (+H) are presented. As the research material, layers of nuclear…

While the Hoyle state (the isoscalar $0^+_2$ excitation at 7.65 MeV in $^{12}$C) has been observed in almost all the electron and $\alpha$ inelastic scattering experiments, the second $2^+$ excited state of $^{12}$C at $E_{\rm x}\approx 10$…

A cluster-transfer experiment $^9$Be($^9$Be,$^{14}$C$^*\rightarrow\alpha$+$^{10}$Be)$\alpha$ was carried out using an incident beam energy of 45 MeV. This reaction channel has a large $Q$-value that favors populating the high-lying states…

The excited states in ${^{12}{\rm C}}$ are investigated by using an extended version of the so-called Tohsaki-Horiuchi- Schuck-R\"opke (THSR) wave function, where both the $3\alpha$ condensate and ${^{8}{\rm Be}} + \alpha$ cluster…

The energies and decay widths of the states of the exotic 7He nucleus are studied in an ab initio approach. The spectrum of these states is calculated using No-Core Shell Model and corresponding extrapolation procedure. Well-proven on a…

The fragmentation of quasi-projectiles from the nuclear reaction $^{40}$Ca+$^{12}$C at 25 MeV/nucleon was used to produce excited states candidates to $\alpha$-particle condensation. Complete kinematic characterization of individual decay…

We use a sequential $R$-matrix model to describe the breakup of the Hoyle state into three $\alpha$ particles via the ground state of $^8\mathrm{Be}$. It is shown that even in a sequential picture, features resembling a direct breakup…

A two-neutron unbound excited state of $^{24}$O was populated through a (d,d') reaction at 83.4 MeV/nucleon. A state at $E = 715 \pm 110$ (stat) $\pm 45 $ (sys) keV with a width of $\Gamma < 2$ MeV was observed above the two-neutron…

Analyses of the inelastic $\alpha$+$^{12}$C scattering at medium energies have indicated that the strength of the Hoyle state (the isoscalar 0$^+_2$ excitation at 7.65 MeV in $^{12}$C) seems to exhaust only 7 to 9% of the monopole energy…

The Hoyle state and other resonances in the continuum above the 3 alpha threshold in 12C are studied in a microscopic cluster model. Whereas the Hoyle state is a very sharp resonance and can be treated reasonably well in bound state…

Particle-decaying states of the light nuclei $^{11,12}$N and $^{12}$O were studied using the invariant-mass method. The decay energies and intrinsic widths of a number of states were measured, and the momentum correlations of three-body…

We analyze the $\alpha$-$^{12}$C inelastic scattering to the $0^+_2$ state of $^{12}$C, the Hoyle state, in a fully microscopic framework. With no free adjustable parameter, the inelastic cross sections at forward angles are well reproduced…

In order to discuss the spatial extention of the second 0+ state of 12C (Hoyle state), we analyze the inelastic form factor of electron scattering to the Hoyle state, which our 3 alpha condensate wave function reproduces very well like…

Knowledge of the low-lying monopole strength in $\mathrm{^{12}C}$ $-$ the Hoyle state in particular $-$ is crucial for our understanding of both the astrophysically important $3\alpha$ reaction and of $\alpha$-particle clustering. Multiple…
