Study of C12 States Using the B11(He3,d)C12 Reaction

Abstract
States in C12 have been studied using the B11(He3,d)C12 reaction at a He3 energy of 44.0 MeV. Energy spectra were obtained to 26-MeV excitation in C12. The results indicate the presence of a positive-parity state at 11.16 ± 0.05 MeV having a width of 550 ± 100 keV. It is suggested to be the 2+ member of an α-cluster band based on the 0+ state at 7.65 MeV. There is no evidence of a state at 14.7 MeV. The 4, (p32)1(d52) T=0 and T=1 states are located at 18.27 and 19.56 MeV, respectively. In the region of the giant dipole resonance in C12, there is a peak at 22.4 MeV.
