Termination of the 12C 12C cluster states revealed in the 12C( 20Ne, 12C 12C) 8Be breakup reaction
Abstract
An investigation of the 12C( 20Ne, 12C 12C) 8Be reaction at 300 MeV shows the breakup yield disappears at the same excitation energy as observed in a previous measurement at 160 MeV. This would be consistent with the breakup being associated with highly-deformed-shape isomeric bands which model calculations predict will terminate at high excitation energies.
