One-dimensionality in atomic nuclei: A candidate for linear-chain α clustering in ¹⁴C

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁴He(¹⁰Be, α), E=39.7 MeV, [secondary ¹⁰Be beam from ¹³C(¹¹B, ¹⁰B), E=46 MeV primary reaction]; measured particle spectra, differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering, angular distributions using the prototype active target-time projection chamber (PAT-TPC) at Notre Dame TwinSol facility. ¹⁴C; deduced levels, α-resonances, J, π, band, α-widths, L-transfers, spectroscopic factors. R-matrix analysis. Comparison with predictions of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) theory, and evidence for a 3α-linear chain structure in ¹⁴C.
