Abstract

CORRELATION experiment has been performed at INFN-LNS of Catania, using the 4π multi-detector CHIMERA, with the aim of exploring correlations between two and multi light particle produced in 12C+24Mg collisions at 35 AMeV. Particular attention has been paid to the decay mechanisms of Hoyle state, an excited resonant state of 12C produced via the triple-α process and characterized by a pronounced molecular like structure with three α particles. The study of the Hoyle state is essential for nucleosynthesis, but it also represents a clearly isolated state that can be studied as a three-α cluster system.
