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>.<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]{ref}
