FOLDING MODEL ANALYSIS AND CLUSTER STRUCTURE OF THE $^{12} {\rm{C(0}}_2^ + )$ STATE

Abstract

We analyze the α inelastic scattering on 12 C by the coupled-channel calculation based on the folding model potential. We show that the ordinary folding model calculation tends to overestimate the [Formula: see text] inelastic angular distribution, and that this discrepancy is not due to the 3α breakup effect. In order to resolve this problem, we propose a folding procedure considering the well-developed 3α cluster structure of [Formula: see text].
