α-Clustering in atomic nuclei from first principles with statistical learning and the Hoyle state character

α-Clustering in atomic nuclei from first principles with statistical learning and the Hoyle state character

Alpha particles are considered the building blocks for some nuclei in alpha-clustering. Here the authors discuss quantum many-body simulations with nucleon-nucleon interaction to characterize the Hoyle state, the first excited 0+ state of the 12C nucleus, and find complexity in its alpha-clustering.
