Investigating the predicted breathing-mode excitation of the Hoyle state

Knowledge of the low-lying monopole strength in C12—the Hoyle state in particular—is crucial for our understanding of both the astrophysically important 3α reaction and of α-particle clustering. Multiple theoretical models have predicted a breathing mode of the Hoyle State at Ex≈9 MeV, corresponding...
