Historic Introduction1953 Hoyle predicts 7.6MeV state from abundances of He, C and O and finds it experimentally1956 Morinaga interprets 7.6MeV state and predicts 2+
state near 9MeV1957 Fowler determines J of 7.6MeV state and finds
a very broad state near 10MeV1966 Morinaga interprets 10MeV state as his 2+ state

What have we learned ?
• There is no low energy 2+ state in 12C populated in the 12B and 12N -decays.
• The “Ghost” of the 7.6MeV state is needed to understand the “10 MeV” state, which has spin 0+.
• The “10 MeV” state mainly decays to the 8Be ground state and its “ghost”, but also to 8Be 2+.
• There is a new (2+) state above 14MeV in12C populated in the 12N (and 12B) -decays.
• The branching ratios are now much better known.
