The root mean square radii of 20 Ne in the short-lived excited states were experimentally deduced for the first time from the analyses of 𝛼+ 20 Ne diffraction scattering. Differential cross sections of the elastic and inelastic 𝛼+ 20 Ne scattering in the incident energy range from a few MeV/nucleon up to 100 MeV/nucleon were analyzed by the modified diffraction model. No significant radius enhancement for the members of K 𝜋 = 0 + 1 and K 𝜋 = 2 − bands in comparison with the ground state was observed. At the same time 20% radius enhancement was obtained for the K 𝜋 = 0 − 1 band members. Moreover, for the 0 + 2 state located above 𝛼emission threshold increased radius was observed. This result can speak in favor of possible 𝛼-condensate structure of the 0 + 2 state and can be considered as a possible analog of the famous 7.65-MeV 0 + 2 Hoyle state of 12 C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
