News on ¹²C from β-decay studies

Summary, in English

We discuss the importance of the spectroscopic properties of the resonances of ¹²C just above the 3α-threshold, and review the existing experimental information of this region with emphasis on O⁺ and 2⁺ states. A new experimental approach for studying the β-decays of ¹²B and ¹²N is presented based on techniques developed in the context of Radioactive beam (rare isotope) physics. Finally preliminary results from an ongoing analysis of two recent experiments are given.
