Purpose: The direct decay of the Hoyle state into three $\alpha$-particles, rather than through the $^{8}\mathrm{Be}$ ground state, can be identified by studying the energy partition of the 3 $\alpha$-particles arising from the decay.

A hypothetical state in $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ at 7. 458 MeV excitation energy, comprising of a loose structure of three $\alpha$-particles in mutual two-body resonance, has been suggested in the literature to correspond to an Efimov state in nuclear physics.
