摘要
Hoyle态是12C的第二激发态,激发能为7.65 MeV,在核合成中起着至关重要的作用。它的辐射衰减宽度是12C和宇宙中所有重元素形成的关键通道。为了研究这一点,我们进行了专门的实验,通过12C(p, p ')12C反应来测量霍伊尔态的辐射衰减宽度。辐射衰变分支比Γrad/Γ为4.03(21)× 10−4。根据目前公认的Γπ(E0)/Γ和Γπ(E0),计算出霍伊尔态的辐射宽度为3.75(40)× 10−3 eV。
Measurement of radiative decay width of the Hoyle state of 12C via 12C(p, p′)12C reaction
The Hoyle state, the second excited state of 12C at an excitation energy of 7.65 MeV, plays a vital role in nucleosynthesis. Its radiative decay width serves as a crucial channel for the formation of 12C and all heavier elements in the Universe. To investigate this, exclusive experiments were conducted to measure the radiative decay width of the Hoyle state via the 12C(p, p′)12C reaction. The radiative decay branching ratio /Γ was determined to be 4.03(21) × 10−4. Based on the currently accepted values of and , the radiative width of the Hoyle state was calculated as 3.75(40) × 10−3 eV.
