Abstract

Nuclear radius of three α rotational state in12C with a life time of 10-21 second, which has been expected to have much more extended radius than the ground12C nucleus, is speculated from systematic analysis of the differential cross section of the α +12C inelastic scattering. Present analysis predicts about 0.6 ∼ 1.0 fm enhancement in the matter radius of the three α rotational state in comparison to the normal radius of the ground state. The spatial extension of the three α rotational state is comparable to the extended radius observed in the neutron halo phenomena.
