| Research Abstract |
This study provided deep understanding of the 12C formation process from three alpha particles (4He nuclei), by means of a three-body quantum mechanical reaction theory. Plain formulation of the ternary fusion process (TFP) and differentiation from other existing models are very important outcomes of this study . Collaboration with experimental group to measure the TFP process was also initiated; they have successfully carried out a measurement very recently. Besides, some important modifications on the reaction model have been done, which fruitfully produced several reaction works.
