A researcher whose joint nuclear experiment found the Hoyle state. Magnetic analysis of reaction products resolved the alpha particle energies corresponding to different excited states of carbon-12. This supplied laboratory evidence for a nuclear level relevant to stellar carbon production, connecting a measured energy spectrum with stellar nucleosynthesis.[ref]
The 7.68-Mev state in C12 by David Noel Ferguson Dunbar and others. Abstract: nitrogen-14 reaction, alpha-particle spectrum and 7.68 MeV level
