The hypernuclear structure of carbon‐12 as measured by both the Torino and Heidelberg groups shows clear structure, but the experimenters differ somewhat on their interpretation of the results. The Torino group sees two peaks, which they interpret to be most probably a ground state and an excited state. They feel that their results, especially the enhancement of the excited state near 10 MeV, are consistent with the predictions of Harry J. Lipkin (Argonne National Laboratory and the Weizmann Institute) and Arthur K. Kerman (MIT), based on the ideas of strangeness analog resonances.
