The Structure of Ground and Excited States of 12C
The Structure of Ground and Excited States of 12C
We study the ground and excited states of 12C employing variational calculations after spin-parity projection in the framework of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD). The calculations systematically reproduce various experimental data. We find that the sub-shell closure and SU(3)-limit 3α cluster components are contained in the ground state, while various 3α …
