Search for alpha inelastic condensed state in 24Mg

Abstract

The alpha inelastic scattering from 24Mg was measured to obtain the isoscalar natural-parity excitation strengths and to search for α-condensed states. Multipole decomposition analysis was performed for the measured cross sections, and the strength distributions for the ΔL = 0–3 transitions were successfully obtained. The decay particles from the excited states in 24Mg were also measured in concidence with the inelastically scattered alpha particles. Candidates were found for α-condensed states around the 16O core.
