Impact of the molecular resonances on the C12+12C fusion reaction rate

The properties of the low-energy C12+12C molecular resonances, which potentially enhance the fusion reaction rate at low temperatures, have been investigated by a full-microscopic nuclear model employing various nuclear energy density functionals. We show that some density functionals plausibly desc...
