Structure of the Hoyle State in 12C
The Hoyle state is a prototype of α-cluster states in light nuclei
Cannot be described within the shell-model but within α-cluster models
Comparison of high-precision electron scattering data with predictions of FMD and α-cluster models
Some α-cluster models predict the Hoyle state to consist of a dilute gas of weakly interacting α

Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC)

Some Theoretical Approaches Towardsthe Hoyle State: FMD model
Antisymmetrized
A-body state
Single-particle states
UCOM interaction
Gaussian wave packets in phase space (ai is width, complex parameter bi encodes mean position and mean momentum), spin is free, isospin is fixed
Derived form the realistic Argonne V18 interaction
Adjusted to reproduce binding energies and charge radii of some “closed-shell”
nuclei
Describes α-cluster states as well as shell-model–like configurations

What is the Actual Structure of the Hoyle State ?
In the FMD and α-cluster model the leading components of the Hoyle state are cluster-like and resemble 8Be + 4He configurations
But in the “BEC”
model the relative positions of α
clusters should be uncorrelated
Overlap with FMD basis states
