Three-alpha resonance states in 12C are investigated by using the method of analytic continuation in the coupling constant combined with the complex scaling method (ACCC+CSM). We obtain a broad 0+ resonance state with energy of Er = 1.66 MeV and width of Γ = 1.48 MeV, which has a similar structure as the second 0+ state.
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.
