Abstract

Characterization of the excited states of C-11, C-12, C-13 isotopes was performed using experimental data collected at the INFN-LNL in Italy. The study employed a 95 MeV N-14 beam on B-10 targets to probe clustering phenomena in carbon isotopes. The experimental setup included a detector system covering polar angles from 15 degrees to 72 degrees, enabling the study of reactions with two and three products in the exit channel. Analysis of the three-product exit channels is presented to provide insight into the process of analyzing such reactions. Presented results for the Be-7+He-4, Be-8+He-4, and Be-9 + He-4 decays of C-11, C-12, C-13, respectively, unveil states at 7.6, 9.7, and 14.1 MeV in C-12, 8.1 and 8.4 MeV in C-11, as well as a broad peak centered at 13.6 MeV with a possible contribution of states from 13.4 to 14.1 MeV in C-13. The detection of these states serves as a crucial validation of the analysis and data selection procedures, representing an initial step before exploring other exit channels.
