Abstract

Cluster resonances in light heavy-ion systems like 12C+12C and 12C+16O may have a major impact on astrophysics stellar scenarios. Resonant radiative capture reactions have been studied for these systems at energies at and slightly below their Coulomb barriers to investigate the possible 12C-12C and 12C-16O molecular origin of the resonances. Spins have been attributed to the resonances and specificities of their γ-decay have been identified. At deep sub-barrier energies, a fusion cross section measurement using the particle-γ coincidence technique is discussed for the 12C+12C system. A new project is presented to possibly extend the 12C+12C S low-energy S factor study.
