The spectroscopic quadrupole moment of the 2⁺₁ state of ¹²C: A benchmark of theoretical models

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²⁰⁸Pb(¹²C, ¹²C'), E=47.65 MeV; measured reaction products, Eγ, Iγ. ¹²C; deduced γ-ray energies, quadrupole moments, B(E2). Comparison with state-of-the-art shell-model, mean-field, ab initio calculations, cluster-based and geometrical-like theories, which show varying degrees of emergent quadrupole collectivity.
