摘要
A high-energy-resolution magnetic spectrometer has been used to measure the C-12 excitation energy spectrum to search for the 2(+) excitation of the 7.65 MeV, 0(+) Hoyle state. By measuring in the diffractive minimum of the angular distribution for the broad 0(+) background, evidence is found for a possible 2(+) state at 9.6(1) MeV with a width of 600(100) keV. The implications for the Be-8 + He-4 reaction rate in stellar environments are discussed.
