Abstract

An 8+ state at Eex = 18.538 ± 0.010 MeV excitation in 20Ne was found to have a large reduced width for decay into 12C + 8Be. The state was populated using the 12C(12C, α)20Ne reaction at E(12C) = 64 and 80 MeV; its spin wa s determined by measuring triple α-α-γ angular correlations. Its relationship to other 8p-4h states in 20Ne is discussed.
