Full levels up to the $3/2^{-}_{3}$ and $1/2^{+}_2$ states around the $\\alpha+\\alpha+t$ threshold ($E_x$=11.1 MeV) are reproduced consistently with the experimental energy levels. It is shown that the $3/2_{3}^{-}$ state located around the $^{7}$Li+$\\alpha$ threshold has an $\\alpha+\\alpha+t$ cluster structure, whereas the $3/2_{1}^{-}$ and $3/2_{2}^{-}$ states have a shell-model-like compact structure. We found that the $3/2_{3}^{-}$ state does not possess an $\\alpha$-condensate-like nature similar to the $0^{+}_{2}$ state of $^{12}$C (Hoyle state) which has a dilute $3\\alpha$-condensate structure described by a $(0S_{\\alpha})^3$ configuration with about $70$\\% probability, although the monopole transition strength of the former is as large as that of the latter. We discuss the reasons why the $3/2_{3}^{-}$ state does not have the condensate character. On the other hand, the $1/2^{+}_{1}$ state just below the $^{7}$Li+$\\alpha$ threshold has a cluster structure which can be interpreted as a parity-doublet partner of the $3/2^{-}_3$ state. We indicate that the $12.56$-MeV state ($J^{\\pi}=1/2^{+}_{2}$) just above the $\\alpha+\\alpha+t$ threshold observed in the $^7$Li($^{7}$Li,$^{11}$B$^*$)$t$ reaction etc. is of the dilute-cluster-gas-like, and is a strong candidate for the Hoyle-analogue state which has a configuration of $(0S_{\\alpha})^{2}(0S_{t})$ with about $65$\\% probability from the analyses of the single-cluster motions in $^{11}$B. The structure property of the $1/2^{+}$ resonant state is analyzed with the complex scaling method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-07-23T13:27:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.10.Dr", "21.60.Gx", "03.75.Hh", "21.10.Gv" ], "keywords": [ "cluster structure", "hoyle-analogue state", "experimental energy levels", "orthogonality condition model", "gaussian expansion method" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2010, "month": "Dec", "volume": 82, "number": 6, "pages": "064315" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 862385, "adsabs": "2010PhRvC..82f4315Y" } } }
