Description
After the determination of the Bose-condensed structure for the Hoyle state in C-12, continuous experimental works have been devoted to the observation of the BEC-like states in other nuclear systems. We present here a series of reaction-decay experimental works, which provide strong evidences of the 4-alpha condensation-like states in O-16 [1], the alpha + 2n + 2n condensation-like states in neutron-rich nucleus He-8 [2] and the latest preliminary results for the alpha + alpha + 6He condensation-like states in C-14 [to be submitted]. Some background information will also be introduced as recently given in [3, 4].
