Analysis of previous microscopic calculations for second state in C in terms of 3-alpha particle Bose-condensed state

Abstract

The wave function of the second state of C which was obtained long time ago by solving the microscopic 3 problem is shown to be almost completely equivalent to the wave function of the 3 condensed state which has been proposed recently by the present authors. This equivalence of the wave functions is shown to hold in two cases where different effective two-nucleon forces are adopted. This finding gives strong support for interpreting the second state of C which is the key state for the synthesis of C in stars ('Hoyle' state), and which is one of the typical mysterious states in light nuclei, as a gas-like structure of three particles, Bose-condensed into an identical s-wave function.
