Evidence for $\alpha$-particle condensation in nuclei from the Hoyle state deexcitation

Ad. R. Raduta, B. Borderie, E. Geraci +23

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. Co…
