We analyze the inelastic scattering of the α+12 C system leading to the [Formula: see text] state in 12 C at incident energies of E α=139 MeV ~ 240 MeV using α condensate model wave function, and investigate the affection of the large nuclear radius of [Formula: see text] on the inelastic angular distribution. It is found that the oscillation pattern in inelastic angular distribution is sensitive to the extent of transition density rather than the nuclear radius of the excited state.
