摘要
The two reactions C-12(He-4, He-4+He-4+He-4)He-4 and Be-9(He-4, He-4+He-4+He-4)n were measured using an array of four double-sided strip detectors. Excited states in C-12 were reconstructed filtered by the condition that the a-decay proceeded via the Be-8 ground state. In both measurements, evidence was found for a new state at 13.3(0.2) MeV with a width 1.7(0.2) MeV. Angular correlation measurements from the C-12(He-4, He-4+He-4+He-4)He-4 reaction indicates that the state may have J(pi) = 4(+).
