Abstract:A cluster-transfer experiment of9Be(9Be,14C→α+10Be)αat an incident energy of 45 MeV was carried out in order to investigate the molecular structure in high-lying resonant states in14C. This reaction is of extremely largeQ-value, making it an excellent case to select the reaction mechanism and the final states in outgoing nuclei. The high-lying resonances in14C are reconstructed for three sets of well discriminated final states in10Be. The results confirm the previous decay measurements with clearly improved decay-channel selections and also show a new state at 23.5(1) MeV. The resonant states at 22.4(3) and 24.0(3) MeV decay primarily into the typical molecular states at about 6 MeV in10Be, indicating a well developed cluster structure in these high-lying states in14C. Further measurements of more states of this kind are suggested.
