✦ Synopsis

The 6 He + 12 C elastic and inelastic scattering and the 6 He + 12 C → α + 14 C reaction have been measured using a 18.0 MeV 6 He beam. Experimental results for the elastic scattering are in fair agreement with optical model predictions, using the potentials found in the analysis of 6 Li scattering on 12 C at similar energies. In triple coincidences, the 6 He + 12 C → 10 Be + 2α reactions were clearly seen, with the 10 Be nucleus left in ground and several excited states. The dominant mechanism of this reaction is sequential decay through cluster states of 14 C.
